Coming Events

Bluestone Vineyard

Wine from the Shenandoah Valley AVA.

2017 Bluestone Chardonnay

Aged Sur Lees for a Buttery Finish

These particular grapes came from our first harvest from the newer vines on the property to the east. After fermentation, the wine stayed on the heavy lees (finished yeast) for 9 months, with monthly stirring of the barrels. This resulted in a wonderful, creamy Chardonnay. 

2013 Petit Verdot

After being released three years ago it was decided that the high acid, high tannic wine needed more time to mellow. Cellared for few more years, we are finally re-releasing this Petit Verdot. Still more aggressive than the 2014, the vintage, with its jam-y fruit flavors, is a great one to age for a few more years, but can definitely be enjoyed now. 

2016 Bluestone Viognier

Virginia's Signature White Wine

Fermented mostly in acacia barrels which is less sweet than oak and helps lighten the weighty-ness of Viognier. This vintage is beautifully dense fruit flavors and finishes dry. one of our best wines to go with a meal. 

Bluestone Beau

Vidal Blanc-Traminette blend

A sweet golden wine named for our sweet golden (retriever) dog. A Vidal Blanc-Traminette blend, it is sweetened to 3% residual sugar.
