Row Ten Research and experimentation led us to this blend. Called "the
best of both worlds", our classic French Chardonnay and Rhone
Viognier are fermented to produce a wine exploding with floral
aromatics and a fresh tropical fruit palate. Clean, crisp,
refreshing, it heralds Spring's warmth and soothes summer's heat
with any meal.
Viognier
A superior white wine with
aromas of apricot and citrus hailing from the Rhone valley
of France. Our stainless steel fermented bottling is bursting with a citrus fruit palate while our barrel fermented winner is full-bodied and pairs well with
many foods. made in the French style of unfiltered wines,
this wines spends 9-12 months aging in barrel before
bottling. The closest match to a French Condrieu made in
America.
Estate Chardonnay
One of the
finest Chardonnays in the area, the Estate Chardonnay shows
citrus flavors reminiscent of California Chards. During the 24
months in French Oak barrels, a true winner is born.
Rheingold Reserve Chardonnay A taste of France here in Southwest Virginia can be found with
the Rheingold. Similar to a French White Burgundy like a Grand
Cru Chablis, the Rheingold is a full bodied white with butteriness and oakiness to boot. Barrel fermented in French Oak
and aged 22 months before bottling, this wine will take you for
an adventure back to the Old World.
Dry Rose
Unheard of and under
appreciated in the United States, there is nothing to compare to
a true dry rose. Patterned after those roses of Southern France, this rose is made of 100% Sangiovese. By
the technique of Saigee, this wine captures the strawberry
fruit-flavor of fully ripened red grapes without the tannins of
its fraternal brothers. Served chilled and paired with all
foods, it is a chef's secret for successful al fresco dining,
picnics or brunches.
Sangiovese The strength of
any vintage is best appreciated when you understand that we
produce this 100 percent Sangiovese in the true Tuscan style.
Dark in color with dense cherry fruit, this spicy wine will push
any pasta to its fullest potential. Silky tannins and a
succulent finish win over the most dedicated white wine drinker.
Great with food, this makes the perfect hostess gift.
Gotterdammerung On the heels
of the great French producer Cheval Blanc, our Cabernet Franc/Merlot blend emulates the master.
Truly endowed with French-style aromas of good mother earth,
this gracious fruit yielding to harmonious tannins make this the
premier dinner wine of choice. Our most highly-rated and
written-about wine may be difficult to pronounce but effortless
to enjoy. For ease, try "Gott wine?," just like "Got milk?"
Cabernet Sauvignon Our Cabs set new marks
for ripeness and tannin maturity. Harvested in late October
or early November, they spend 34-40 months aging in a
combination of French and American Oak. These lusty dense
wines show dark cherry fruit, cedar, spice, and sweet
tobacco layer after layer. Velvet tannin feel on the palate,
silky cocoa on the finish, these are passionate releases
from this Cabernet Girl.
Syrah
This
is a big red wine that accompanies any meal. Aromas of spice,
pepper and dark ripe fruit will be sure to evoke your senses
into frenzy. Rich fruit, meaty texture and spice awaken your
palate. If you like Australian Shiraz, you'll love our Syrah.
Norton Great wine for the
money. Thomas Jefferson found this grape growing wildly on his
estate which brings a sense of pride among Virginians. Our
organically grown grape with its tough skin needs not to be
sprayed but rather to be left alone to blossom in the Virginia
climate. Highly aromatic of plum and violet, it is dark in color
and offers a wonderful flavor. A super everyday wine.
Alicante Bouschet We are the
only grower of this true red grape (the juice is actually red)
outside the state of California. Alicante is opaque black in
color reminiscent of ink with aromas of dark fruit, cassis, and
tobacco. This full bodied wine compliments a cigar by magnifying
the flavor tremendously. Come to our tasting room and enjoy a
glass of this rarity.
Valkyrie
Only the best
barrels from each production make the final blending for this
beauty. Assemblage of Cabernet Savignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot,
Malbec and Petit Vedot, it reflects the top five Bordeaux
varieties. Aged 40 months in French and American oak, this
elegant wine earns the distinction of Virginia's best.
Integration of dark fruits, tobacco leaf, cassis and cocoa is
silky on the palate and lingers lushly. I present it with pride
for your ultimate pleasure.
Cabernet/Shiraz A blend in
the classic Australian tradition of Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah
(same this as Shiraz) is making its first appearance at Valhalla
Vineyards. The Cabernet gives depth and characteristics of a
French Bordeaux while the Shriaz provides the wonderful aroma of
dark black fruit and spice. Perfect with grilled meats, we find
that this is a wine that you will find difficult to drink only
one bottle.
Cornucopia Always a favorite, our
striking Cornucopia embraces a distinctive wine
that can elevate to pair with bold foods or soften to accompany
milder foods. A red wine light enough for a white wine drinker
but still with enough depth for a red wine drinker, the
Cornucopia is a perfect addition to any family dinner or Thanksgiving
Holiday.
Late Harvest Alcante Bouschet Reviewed in barrel by professors and winery owners from Italy,
Virginia state enologist and viticulturalist and many wine
writers and winemakers, our Late Harvest Alicante was rated the
top wine in our cellar. Ripe plum, current and raisin flavors
abound with sweet anise interlaced. Rich and unctuous, it is
"dessert in a glass". |
