Reserve Chardonnay - A 2024 Virginia Governor’s Cup Gold Medalist
Our Reserve Chardonnay was barrel fermented and aged sur-lie in premium American Oak barrels for a minimum of two years. Prior to bottling, only the highest quality lots are selected, gently blended and filtered creating this exceptionally smooth, well-rounded wine offering strong flavors of butter and cream.
Chardonnay 2023
Our Chardonnay is a refreshing wine with layers of citrus, mandarin and pear. Prolonging our growing season produced complex sugars in every cluster leaving a slightly sweet palate. A light blending brings together select vineyard characteristics for an impactful finish.
Vidal Blanc 2023
Our Vidal Blanc grapes are grown in a well ventilated, high nitrogen sight at our Vineyard Estate allowing for a long healthy growing season. An exceptionally dry, late summer helped this year's grapes ripen to perfection. After harvest, the grapes were quickly chilled, pressed and fermented to make a fruity and slightly sweet wine.
White Merlot 2022
Our White Merlot begins with hand picked red Merlot grapes. Immediately after harvest the grapes are chilled to increase their natural sugars and enhance the flavors created on the vine. We press the grapes and cold ferment the wine to create a delicately sweet blush with hints of summer berries.
White Norton 2022
Our Norton grapes are grown just past the Tasting Room in 730 foot rows, the longest of any vineyard we manage. On a Southern facing slope these grapes receive ample sunlight light helping to create an abundance of color and structure in each berry. After harvest the grapes are chilled and whole-cluster pressed. The juice is fermented slowly to create a medium-bodied wine with a slightly sweet and tart finish.
Vermentino 2023 -A 2025 Virginia Governor’s Cup Silver Medalist
Our Vermentino grapes are grown on the highest ridge of the property allowing ample sunlight and air flow creating deep complexity within each berry. This medium bodied wine features notes of citrus and pear with a silky mouthfeel balanced by a refreshing acidity that persists throughout the finish.
Merlot - A 2024 Virginia Governor’s Cup Gold Medalist
Our Merlot is balanced by notes of soft plum and bing cherry with hints of oak and vanilla from over thirty months of barrel aging. Thick tannins build upon the memorable bouquet of blackberry and simple fig for this full-bodied and well-integrated wine.
Sweet Virginia
Our Sweet Virginia has a soft color with medium-body and expressive flavors. Its fruit-forward nose evokes sweet cherry blossoms, strawberries, and everything a Southern lady loves.
Norton - A 2025 Virginia Governor’s Cup Silver Medalist
Our Norton encompasses all the rich history of Virginia’s native grape. Under the cover of bird netting, the grapes matured, forming thick skins to increase the wine’s body and deep color. Malolactic fermentation brings out the smoked flavors of the American oak barrels leaving a full-bodied wine with a delightful finish.
Cabernet Franc 2021
Our Cabernet Franc brings together savory notes of deep plum and blackberry that complement the subtle hints of toasted oak and apricot from over twenty months of aging in American oak barrels. A damp flowering period led to loose clusters allowing the complex flavors to develop during veraison. This dry wine has moderate tannins building upon the unique bouquet for this medium-bodies well rounded wine.
Trinity 2022
Trinity showcases our Estate vineyards, capturing the vast terroir of the Commonwealth. Post fermentation blending aided in building the tannic nature of the wine and showcases each varietal’s contribution to the blend. The delicate notes of sweet plum, cherry, and dark chocolate culminate into the smooth slightly sweet finish.
Meritage
Our Meritage is a Bordeaux style blend of the finest grapes produced over the past three years. These wines are fermented and aged in premium toasted American oak barrels separated by vineyard location. Prior to bottling, wines are selected individually to blend into this smooth, classic full-bodied red wine.
Black Label Bourbon Barrel Chardonnay
Our delicate Chardonnay was aged for eighteen months in slightly loved charred bourbon barrels providing the wine with sweet notes of vanilla, caramel and toasted oak. A perfect wine for sipping after dinner in front of a warm fire.
Black Label Tequila Barrel Rose
Our complex White Merlot wine was aged for eighteen months in blue agave tequila barrels creating an extraordinary blend of unique flavors with a smooth tequila taste featuring hints of almonds, hazelnut and dry fruit with our signature rose color.
Black Label Tannat
Our Black Label Tannat grapes grown on Short Hill in Loudon County, Virginia were singularly filtered to preserve the rich dark tannins of the bottle. The beautiful aromas of raspberry, black cherry and tobacco produce robust flavors that create a dry smooth finish.
