Bellaria

2012 Virginia Vidal Blanc

Valerie Hill Bellaria is a delightful white wine crafted from the Vidal Blanc grape and hailing from Virginia's picturesque wine region. This 2012 vintage showcases a light-bodied profile that is wonderfully refreshing, making it an excellent choice for warm-weather sipping. With its bright acidity, the wine offers an invigorating crispness that dances on the palate, enhancing its fruit-forward character. Flavors of ripe stone fruits and zesty citrus emerge, presenting a charming fruit intensity that is both prominent and inviting. While this wine leans toward a dry style, it maintains a harmonious balance, allowing its delectable fruit notes to shine through without overwhelming sweetness. Valerie Hill Bellaria is the perfect companion for light fare, seafood dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own as a delightful summertime treat.

From rich and powerful California Zinfandel to spicy Oregon Pinot Noir, and from full-bodied Washington Merlot to aromatic New York Riesling, the wines of the United States are nearly as diverse as its population. People have been making wine in North America from European vitis vinifera vines since the first French settlers arrived in the 1500s. Progress stalled along the way by pests and diseases that the vine had never encountered in its homelands, but today wine is produced in all 50 states. With more than 260 AVAs to discover, each with its unique climate and landscape, wines of the United States have much to offer.
