|
The Walnut Hill Vineyards consists of 20 acres of Chardonnay clone 96, Merlot, Syrah, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Malbec. Walnut Hill is part of the original land purchased by the Flemer Family in the 1880's. It is a magnificent site for growing grapes as it is part of the highest ridge in the entire Northern Neck. With a commanding view towards the Potomac River, these vineyards are well exposed to breezes off the rivers. The back portion of the property also drains towards the Rappahannock River. The heavier soils on Walnut Hill produce wines of intensity, elegance, complexity and finesse.
