The only indigenous grape to Virginia, Norton was first cultivated in Richmond, VA in 1830 by Daniel Norton. It has the highest concentration of antioxidants in any red grape. This fuller-bodied, dark-colored wine has jammy black fruit notes of blackberry and black currant, vibrant acidity and finishes with a subtle vanilla flavor.
Aprés means “after” in French. Sparkling wine was the preference of French Kings at festivities and rites of passage, and eventually gained worldwide renown for its role in elegant celebrations. Today it is still used to toast to momentous occasions. Aprés is our tribute to all of those extraordinary moments worth celebrating.
Our Extra Brut Aprés Blanc de Blanc underwent extended tirage aging starting in 2020. The wine shows a rich golden color and brilliant clarity with a fine elegant mousse. The aroma and flavors are fresh and crisp, with clean tree fruits such as golden delicious apple and bosc pear, accented by a touch of brioche and toastiness. The wine is well balanced by the creaminess of the mid-palate and a finish that is long and crisp with beautiful acidity.
Barrel fermenting the Chardonnay allows the small amount of new oak to integrate seamlessly into the wine. This contributes freshness and subtle oak notes, along with yellow apple and ripe quince. The “batonnage” stirring of the lees as the wine ages adds a creaminess that balances out the bright acidity the wine contains as a result of not going through a full Malo-lactic fermentation.
This Viognier was fermented and aged in stainless steel to allow the true character of the variety to shine through. The dominant aromas of honeysuckle and Barlett pear come on strong, followed by flavors of dragon fruit and peach that fill out the palate. This is a bright, fruit-forward version of Viognier with good acidity that makes you salivate.
This dry version of Vidal Blanc has aromas of honeysuckle and kumquat that lead to flavors of melon and citrus peel on the palate. This is a vibrant wine with mouth-quenching acidity and great fruitiness upfront, with roundness in the mid palate and length on the finish.
Rosé Wine
This bright salmon-hued Rosé is bursting with red fruit aromas of strawberry and watermelon. This wine begins with the same strawberry note on the palate and transitions to grapefruit and watermelon on the finish. This is a Provençale style Rosé that is bright and fresh that is balanced with ample acidity that emphasizes the strong fruit on the finish and drinks as smooth as water.
Petit Manseng has really started to make a name for itself here in Virginia due the thick skin and loose clustered nature of this variety. This makes the grape well-suited to the environmental elements that are typical in an east coast growing season. Petit Manseng is often made into a late harvest dessert wine, however our version is a dry style with tropical notes and citrus zest. It is a fuller-bodied white with lots of pineapple and lemon intensity on the palate, which is emphasized by the amount of acidity that the variety is known for. This predominant quality of acidity contributes to the bright finish of this wine and long age ability.

38% Viognier, 33% Chardonnay and 29% Petit Manseng
Stainless-steel fermentation allows the true expression of each variety to stand out without oak getting in the way. This process highlights the tropical notes of Petit Manseng and stone fruit aromatics of Viognier that are so prevalent in this wine. Stone fruit stands out on the palate, followed by a lemon zest that envelops the mouth with quenching acidity. The wine finishes with lingering tree fruits.
89% Vidal Blanc and 11% Pinot Gris
The aromatics are reminiscent of tropical fruits with petroleum notes that quickly change to tree fruits. A citrus spiciness comes through first on the palate led by the wine’s good acidity, while the residual sugar brings about a lychee and melon note that add a long lingering finish to the wine.
Verve is a vibrant and fresh style of Pétillant Naturel sparkling wine, showcased by the bright stone fruit notes on the nose accompanied by a hint of melon. Peach and asian pear come through on the palate first, leading to a rounded mid-palate that finishes off with mouthwatering acidity. Hints of shortbread are nicely cleansed by the pleasing effervescence of the wine. This fresh style of sparkling wine is an unpretentious fun wine to enjoy with good friends and good food. Pétillant Naturel. SPARKLING WINE

Red wine produced in the Nouveau style of carbonic maceration (whole berry fermentation), which creates a fruity, less tannic wine that’s best served slightly chilled. Strong raspberry notes dominate the aromantics, which are also abundant on the palate, followed by subtle cardamon spice notes. Soft supple tannins and zippy acidity makes this a thirst quenching chillable red for warmer spring and summer days.

90% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Tannat
Cabernet Franc is not only used in red blends but is an important varietal wine in Virginia. This lighter bodied wine has black tea and black cherry notes followed by a white pepper component and earthiness. The silky texture of the tannins on the palate lead to flavors of sour cherry and red plum as the wine finishes long and dry.
Merlot has become one of the most widely planted varieties in Virginia and is important to the future of wines in the Commonwealth moving forward. This Merlot starts with notes of raspberry and violet that lead to flavors of red fruit and black tea, finishing with a touch of baking spice. The big, chewy tannins and ample acidity will help this wine age well into the future.
2023 VIRGINIA GOVERNOR'S CUP CASE WINNER
One of the top 12 wines in Virginia!
With this Petit Verdot we are trying to showcase one of our unique vineyard terroirs in the Shenandoah Valley. We typically blend our Petit Verdot together to make a varietal wine or add it to the several red blends that we produce. With a new shift in our philosophy, we’ve decided to showcase all of our individual growing sites. This wine was aged entirely in French oak, which adds a savory note that intertwines with the blackberry and floral aromatics that are true to the variety. This wine has well-rounded tannins and bright acidity that highlight the blackberry and plum component, finishing with an earthiness and herbal quality.
37% Cabernet Franc, 24% Petit Verdot, 22% Merlot and 17% Tannat
The most approachable of our red blends is crafted in a true Virginia Bordeaux style with this vintage being heavier in Petit Verdot and Cab Franc. This wine starts out with notes of ripe red cherry and cranberries, finishing with a slight vanilla note. The well-structured tannins and smooth acidity add a lot of layered complexity to the wine that make this one of the better versions of Mélange in recent memory.
40% Petit Verdot, 31% Cabernet Franc and 29% Merlot
This wine is composed of the noble Bordeaux varieties. It is full bodied and complex with a balanced tannin structure that is underpinned by good acidity, which allows it to be age worthy. Red fruit aromas dominate with a subtle floral note, leading the way to flavors of plum and currant wrapped up by touch of cedar on the finish.
45% Petit Verdot, 20% Cabernet Franc, 20% Tannat and 15% Merlot
This is a fuller-bodied Bordeaux blend that gives way to aromas of black fruits followed by cherry cola and anise. This wine contains ample, well-rounded tannins, balanced with good acidity and black currant notes that make for a complex and layered wine with a lengthy finish.
Our flagship blend of 50% Petit Verdot & 50% Tannat
"PVT is a superstar wine built seriously and made for aging. I suspect this wine can last 20 or more years from the vintage date"
-Mark Squires (Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate)
PVT is our full-bodied flagship wine with robust tannins and great acidity across the palate that will age well for years to come. Aromas of black fruits with a subtle floral note come across on the palate as well, along with blackberry and fig, all of which wrap up perfectly with the vanilla finish of the wine. You will find that this vintage of PVT opens up much better after a few hours of decanting and demands hearty foods. This wine is built for the long haul and will age for 10 plus years easily. Only 8 barrels produced.
Tannat is the hardiest variety we produce due to the abundant tannins and acidity, which are also key factors that will allow this wine to age for a long time and hold onto its fruitier notes. Strong aromas of blueberry are followed by a touch of cedar. This leads into the fruit-forward flavors of brambleberries alongside a touch of tobacco, which is followed by a subtle hint of baking spice. The wine is held together with great structure and a full body that finishes with a lot of depth on the palate.
Swagger is made in the traditional port-style entirely from Chambourcin, which gives this wine a deep ruby color and distinct black cherry flavor. The wine is a well-balanced drier ruby style with smooth tannins and acidity that help highlight the subtle smokiness and caramel undertones from the bourbon barrel aging.
Starting with Edition II, Swagger has been made in the Solera style of fortified wine making, Although the residual sugar varies from bottling to bottling, this style helps to maintain quality and consistency from year-to-year by blending multiple vintages of the wine together.
