Come Celebrate with us! Happy Sauvignon Blanc Day! In 2017 Michael made a small batch of Sauvignon Blanc for his Wine Club members, and that same style has been carried over to our 2022 vintage. The addition of 10% Riesling adds a floral quality to the aromatics, and stone fruit to the palate. Fermented dry in stainless steel tanks, this wine—while subtle when young—shows its varietal character both aromatically and texturally with some bottle age. #monticellowinetrail #sauvblanc #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #Charlottesville #Virginia #winetasting #SauvignonBlancDay

Jackie's Tasting Room Pick - My pick is our 2022 Viognier I love how bright it is. It's the perfect wine for spring and summer. This viognier is light and refreshing. Sometimes viognier is too floral for me but this one tastes like viognier is supposed to taste, it's perfectly balanced. It's the perfect wine to drink while sitting on the patio. Jacking is a lab technician, she has been with us since February 2023. #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #Charlottesville #Virginia #winetasting

Happy Tannat Day! Traditionally grown in the Madiran region of southwestern France, this varietal is known to have higher acidity and tannins. However, in central Virginia, our hot climate and soils provide us with a much more balanced varietal composition. Due to tannat’s naturally high tannins, we barrel age this wine for 18 months to help the wine evolve and integrate before bottling. Our tannat tends to be our biggest red variety and we believe that aging this wine for 7-10 years will deepen the expressions of the wine through beautiful fruit and earth notes. #monticellowinetrail #monticellowineweek #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #Charlottesville #Virginia #winetasting
Rodger's Tasting Room Pick: My Pick from the current Tasting Menu is the 2021 Cabernet Franc. This is my go-to burger wine. It's very light and ready to go right out of the bottle. It's not as spicy as some other cabernet francs and I think it is one of the better cabernet francs in the state. Rodger has been a Tasting Room Associate with us for 9 years. #monticellowinetrail #monticellowineweek #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #Charlottesville #Virginia #winetasting

Tucker's Pick from the Tasting Room: I'm not sure what this wine is, they usually leave it on the counter, and I sometimes get a bowl full. This time, my mom let me drink out of a fancy glass. It has notes of clean glass and light minerality. It is crisp, refreshing, and hydrating. It pairs nicely with treats and my favorite apple core snacks. Can you tell me what it is? Tucker is the chief snack officer and office companion. His favorite work activities are napping on the job and lunch clean-up. Follow him @fox_red_tucker . #AprilFools #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #charlottesville #Virginia #winetasting

Stephanie's Pick from the Tasting Room - My current favorite is the 2020 L'Accord. I'm a rule follower, and I really like how it kind of breaks the rules. You get nice roundness from the Chardonnay while the Aligoté provides nice crispness and tropical notes. It's perfect for summer but has enough body to not be seasonal. Aligoté is also a nice conversation starter since not everyone knows about it. The 2020 L'Accord is available at Wineworks Extended, our Avon St location. Stephanie has been a friend of Michael Shaps Wineworks for a long time and finally agreed to be a Tasting Room Associate with us in October 2023. #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #Charlottesville #Virginia
Our 2021 Petit Manseng is the only 2024 Gold Medal winner currently available on our Harris Creek Rd tasting menu. James Suckling agreed with the Governor's Cup judges and awarded it 92 points and described it as "A rich and buttery white showing baked mangoes, hazelnuts, buttered toast and apple crumble on the nose. Full-bodied, toasty and tropical, with a delicious finish." Stop in and see if you agree! #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #charlottesville #Virginia #winetasting

Scott can be purchased as part of our Gold Medal Package, available online and in our tasting rooms! #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville #vawinery #drinklocal #Charlottesville #Virginia
Alec's Tasting Room Pick: The 2019 Tannat is my favorite on the current tasting menu. It has notes of bramble, blackberry, leather, and brown spice, with licorice in the finish. As its name would suggest, it has big tannins. It drinks awesome right now and I think it is a wine that will be interesting to watch over a few years to see how it can age and evolve. Alec is our Production Manager, he assists Michael and Michael with the production, scheduling, and planning of our wine as well as our custom crush client's wines. He has worked at Michael Shaps Wineworks since 2023. #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinetasting #visitcharlottesville

Kevin’s Tasting Room Pick: To me, the 2019 Chardonnay is the most interesting wine on the current tasting list. It’s crisp, bright, more acidic, and drinks nicely. It’s one of the best vintages of our Virginia Chardonnay we’ve had. Our wine-making staff is incredible, they put tremendous care into the wines, and you can taste it. Come in for a taste and let me know if you agree! #monticellowinetrail #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinery #vawine #charlottesvillewine #charlottesvillewinetasting
