Matthieu works at King Family Vineyards. He says winemaking is new to the state of Virginia. “So here in Virginia and at King Family Vineyards, Virginia is a fairly new wine region. So, we are still working a lot about experimenting, to try to see what fits the best (in) our climate. We are a hot and humid climate. And so it's not the most ideal weather to ripen grapes. Grapes like usually more dry, dry weather so we are still experimenting with what does well for us here. But at King Family Vineyards and in central Virginia we do like to work with white wine, we do like to work with viognier. We do like to work with chardonnay. I think that works very well for us here. And when it comes to red, most of the grapes that grows in Bordeaux, grow very well here also. So, that's what we do at King Family vineyards.”
