Flying Fox Wines
Our approach to winemaking is very pragmatic. We manage our vines for low yield and maximum fruit intensity. We work with small batches of fruit that have the most desirable characteristics of the terroir and each individual varietal. We want to make the most honest wine possible from the very best grapes.
2010 Viognier
A lovely example of Viognier with hints of ripe apricot and lemon. The wine is dry, aromatic and floral, with flavors of apricot, peaches and pears. Gold Medal 2011 Virginia State Fair

2010 Fox White
A lightly sweet version of Vidal Blanc. Great with spicy food or just for sipping on the front porch.
|
2010 Rosé
Our Rosé is a lively and refreshing dry wine with flavors of soft red fruit and a hint of almond. Produced from Cabernet Franc and Merlot grapes picked specifically for our Rosé. Serve well chilled on a warm summer day.

2008 Cabernet Franc
A classic example of Virginia Cabernet Franc. Ripe fruit, oak with a hint of cedar and a lovely balance of richness and acidity. Gold Medal 2011 Atlantic Seaboard Wine Competition

2008 Trio
A harmonious blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot with each grape adding its unique notes to the wine. After 18 months of "rehearsal" in the cellar, our best barrels were chosen for this limited production, classically styled wine. Platinum Medal 2011 Virginia Wine Classic
|
2008 Petit Verdot
Our Petit Verdot is grown in a perfect one acre corner of our vineyard on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A summer with excellent growing conditions and 18 months of aging in French and American oak produced a wine with deep color, smooth mature tannins and a lingering finish. Gold Medal 2011 Monticello Cup

2008 Fox Red
We produce this wine from a blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Rich and smooth, this wine is semi-dry and able to stand up to strong flavors such as blue cheese or barbeque. Serve it hot and mulled in the winter, or chilled in the summer. Our "Flying Fox" is now launching into flight from a cannon. Raise a glass to an exciting new adventure!
