A Spanish varietal with bright acidity and a dry finish. 

The 2023 Albariño has notes of green apple, candied lemon and pink grapefruit while finishing with a flinty mouth watering acidity, a touch of salinity, and a hint of thai basil. Grapes were fermented at cooler temperatures in stainless steel for a crisp clean finish with 10% fermenting in neutral oak barrels. 100% Loudoun County grapes.

Pairs well with ceviche, grilled pork, sushi, grilled vegetables, risotto

Vidal Blanc, Chardonnay, Semillon

Predominantly stainless steel fermented with a slight kiss of oak barrel fermented Semillon and Chardonnay.  Crisp acidity with flavors of green apple, white grapefruit, citrus, pear, and white flowers while notes of tangerine, lemon rind and a hint of vanilla linger on the finish. A hint of residual sugar will compliment any Summer day! Reminiscent of Riesling.

Pairs well with Carbonara pasta, hard cheeses, potato soup, cheese fondue

Aromatics of lemongrass, lime, and melon give way to flavors of lemon zest, green apple and cut grass. Dry with a zesty acidity. Perfectly light and refreshing on spring and summer days.

100% Loudoun County grapes. Serve cold, slightly above refrigerator temperature of 45-50 to release aromatics.

Pairs well with Thai red curry mussels, grilled lobster with butter, spaghetti carbonara.

Fruit-forward, medium body with subtle tannins. Jammy and loaded with red fruit (red cherry, pomegranate, and plum) with vibrant acidity, herbs, and a hint of smokiness. Easy drinking, food friendly, all-occasion red blend.

Pairs well with fresh pasta, fried arancini, goat cheese, bbq ribs, grilled mushrooms, campfires, and friends

Lush and unique blend of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. “Field Blend” meaning we harvested and co-fermented the mélange of grapes, from the same block, together as one. Earthy, rustic tannins that would complement to cellar for 3-5 years.

Pairs well with charcoal grilled lamb, oak grilled New York Strip, caramelized onions, mushroom risotto

Merlot, Petit Verdot

Each year “Helping Hands” evolves as a different wine, from a different block. Sometimes it’s a single varietal and sometimes a blend. In 2021 we were especially excited about our estate Merlot. This was the year that our youngest Merlot vines were maturing and producing grapes for the first year and we wanted to craft a “new meets vintage” blend combining both our youngest and oldest Merlot vines. A little Petit Verdot was picked along the way and co-fermented with the younger vines. Notes of plum and baked cherry with a little blackberry and Christmas spice. 

Pairs well with braised short ribs, grilled rib-eye, sweet glazed wings, cream of mushroom
