Chåteau Morrisette and Virginia TechUncork Hokie Bird Wines
Hokie Bird Red and Hokie Bird White, the officially licensed wines of Virginia Tech, were released on September 9th. Virginia Tech’s long standing involvement in enology and viticulture research programs and the university’s commitment to improving the overall quality and scope of the Commonwealth’s wine industry makes the partnership with Chåteau Morrisette a natural fit.
As with any officially licensed product, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of all of Chåteau Morrisette’s Hokie White and Hokie Red is contributed to the general scholarship fund at Virginia Tech. Chåteau Morrisette was proud to offer these signature wines to Virginia Tech supporters, alumni, and friends.
Unfortunately, the inaugural vintage of these Hokie Bird wines was produced in limited quantities. The initial demand far surpassed our production within weeks of the wines’ release. Wait! Don’t despair! We anticipate our second release of Hokie Bird wines in the Spring of 2005. Check our website for updates on the exact release date.
Please note: We do love our Hokies, but we are non-partisan! If you and your favorite university are interested in an official licensed wine, please let us know.
Dessert wine extraordinaire! Our winemaking team slowly presses frozen Vidal Blanc grapes obtaining a concentrated, aromatic juice to ferment into a delightful wine. Flavors of pear and melon with a hint of spice lead to a velvety finish. This unique wine can also be served as an aperitif.
