Passion & Family
You could start a vineyard and winery from scratch because it’s cool. We did it because we're passionate about it. We love that good wine and food brings family and friends together to share stories and laughter. We love the mountain views, crisp clean air, neighboring farms and vineyards in the valley below. Visit us, become our friends, have some of our wine, and you’ll get it too.
Patricia
Patricia (2018), named after our mother in law, is a dry, fruit forward, crisp Petit Manseng varietal wine. It was fermented and aged in stainless steel for about 5 months and expresses tropical fruits, especially citrus. Enjoy it with spicy foods or all by itself. Silver medal winner in the 2020 Virginia Governor’s Cup Competition.
Alma
Named after our mother, this dry 2018 Viognier varietal wine is bright, fruit forward, with hints of tropical, pome, and stone fruits and floral notes. It was aged only in stainless steel, no oak, for about 6 months and pairs well with mild cheeses, lighter meats and fish, or all by itself. Enjoy! Silver Medal winner in the 2019 Loudoun Wine Awards.
Lisa & Thad SO
Named after our daughter and son-in-law, this dry 2017 Petit Manseng varietal wine was aged in steel and French oak for 18 months ("SO"), expresses citrus and pineapple fruits and oak tannins, and is a delightful alternative to steel-aged Petit Manseng. Pairs well with softer cheeses, fish, seafood, and chicken. Try some!
Harle Rose
Named after our home street in Leesburg, VA, this dry 2018 Rose was blended at a party with our neighbors and family and is comprised of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc (the dominant component wine), the parents of Cabernet Sauvignon. It is a delicious, fruit forward, crisp, lighter red wine with hints of strawberry on the nose and pallet. Perfect with poultry, mild cheeses, or all by itself.
Duke
Named after a dear late friend of our family, this dry 2018 Cabernet Franc was aged in new and neutral French oak for about 12 months, has ruby red color, and expresses bright red fruit, mild oak and fruit tannins, and characteristic pepper on a smooth finish. Enjoy!
Paul
Named after all the Pauls in our family, including our youngest son, this dry, lighter style 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon varietal wine was aged in steel and French oak for about 17 months, has ruby red color, expresses red fruits and oak and fruit tannins, and is perfect with food, think burgers, pizza, chocolate, and aged cheeses. Enjoy!
La Famiglia (2018)
La Famiglia (2018) is named for our family and is a dry, fruit forward, Bordeaux style blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc from our vineyard. It was aged in new and neutral French oak barrels for about 12 months and expresses a smoothness on the pallet, bright red fruits, and mild tannins. Enjoy.
