Coming Events

Bluestone Vineyard

Wine from the Shenandoah Valley AVA.

2018 Bluestone Chardonnay, Stainless Steel

Crisp and Refreshing

Kept clean with a cold fermentation and natural yeast, this wine is refreshing but still holds the varietal depth of Chardonnay with great minerality.

2018 Bluestone Petit Manseng

Shenandoah Valley

High alcohol and high acid generally don't go together in a white wine. This particular vintage is 100% barrel fermented dry in French oak. Creamy and rich to satisfy with enough acid and fruit to keep it focused

2017 Bluestone Quartz Hill Red

Cabernet Franc and Chambourcin Blend

The 2017 vintage was crafted with all estate grown fruit, and it's two-thirds Chambourcin and one-third Cabernet Franc. Great, easy drinking wine that goes with just about anything.

2014 Bluestone Petit Verdot

Densely Structured

A densely concentrated wine with clean aromatics of black fruit, violet and nutmeg. The black fruit continues through to the finish with smoke and oak.

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.

2016 Bluestone The Steep Face

100% Chambourcin Blend

Grown on one of the steepest vineyard slopes in the Commonwealth, this 100% Chambourcin blend is inky, dry, and fruit forward. The nose carries licorice, leather, and dried fruit through a finish of capsicum, hazelnut and nutmeg.

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.

Bluestone Crooked and Weedy

Easy drinking sweet red blend

Named for the train that ran through the Bluestone Vineyard property in the early 1900’s, this wine is a sweet red blend that works well with grilled and spicy foods.
