Shirts & Skins - Petit Verdot (2021)

Shirts & Skins - Petit Verdot (2021)

Our first red wine!  From a plot grown by our friend Alta Jones in western Loudoun County.  This is 100% Petit Verdot, foot trodden and macerated 8 days with one daily punch down.  The fermenting wine was then pressed and finished fermentation in neutral french oak barrel.  After aging for 9 months in barrel, the wine was bottled in August 2022.  No additives.

Started by Shawn Eubank and Sergio Pinzon in 2016, Shirts & Skins works with fruit local to the Mid-Atlantic of the US producing highly drinkable, no additive wines.  The focus is on experimentation and new techniques in the winery so don't expect to see the same wines and labels year after year!
