Their work shies away from overly boisterous, heavily extracted styles often seen in internationally styled wines, favoring minimal intervention winemaking, minimal filtration, careful co-fermentation, and the mingling of both hybrid and vinifera grapes. They are known in Virginia and beyond as pioneers in a new era of expressive, craft-oriented winemaking.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTheir fruit comes from a variety of sources throughout the Shenandoah Valley: Sherman Ridge and Bluestone Vidal Blanc, Bluestone Chambourcin, Oxeye Blaufränkisch, Sherman Ridge Petit Manseng, Barren Ridge Traminette. They implement 100% whole cluster fermentation on their Vidal, Blaufränkisch, and Traminette. No SO₂ is applied to the fruit, and the juice is left to macerate on the skins for twelve days. After undergoing semi-carbonic fermentation, the first three grapes are pressed combined with the Chambourcin and the Petit Manseng.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-en-clipboard=\"true\" data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eThe resulting wine speaks with a pleasantly off-beat tempo of rose petals and river rocks, apple peel and red berries.
