Fox Meadow Winery
|
|
The dream of Cheryl & Dan Mortland, long-time wine enthusiasts, was to create a winery where people can come visit and enjoy a great sensory experience involving, both the beauty of nature,…. and great wine, but even more importantly to have fun! Situated at an elevation of 1700 feet above sea level, Fox Meadows Vineyards allows our visitors to actually “look down on the tops of mountains” and see as many as seven mountain ranges. It is truly a breath taking experience. We are located on the east slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Linden, Virginia, overlooking the Manassas Gap (not to be confused with Manassas, Virginia). On a clear day you can see over 50 miles. While at Fox Meadow Vineyards visitors can either relax in our picnic area or on our large tasting room deck overlooking the vineyard. While at Fox Meadow you should ask your tasting room host about the “the lost trail” and hear about how this small tract of land was part of a very long trail. Or possibly just ask “why is this place is called Fox Meadow when you are at the top of a mountain? Other tidbits of history include the mountain gap where 150 years ago large armies marched, and fought to preserve the nation. Whether your interests are natural, historical, or you just want to relax, come see us at Fox Meadow Vineyards.

Cabernet Franc
This Fox Meadow Winery Cabernet Franc is the second wine label of Fox Meadows and offers a flavor of licorice and cherry fruit combined with youthful oak. A clean Bordeaux style with prevalent but refined and silky tannins. The overall feeling of this wine it that it is muscular in the classic Cabernet Franc style but gentle!
|
Chardonnay
This is a determined and true-to-type unblemished Chardonnay. This dry zippy non-oaked wine gives unmasked expressions of the Chardonnay grape and provides true Chardonnay mouth feel. Such a delight with slight twists of pear and fig. This wine is well balanced, vibrant, clean and crisp.
|
Freezeland Red
This light red wine has a unique blend of the Portuguese varietals, Tinta Cao and Touriga, and Spanish Tempranillo. Its light and fruity flavor combined with a 5% residual sugar makes it a great sipping or patio wine.
|
Freezeland White
The initial aromas as one approaches this wine is one of Raspberries. This lively fruity white wine is a unique blend of early harvest Viognier and Rkatsiteli, a Russian varietal. A taste of apple tones can be sensed, but the wine finishes with a taste of apricots. This light and fruity flavor combined with a 4% residual sugar makes it a great sipping, or
patio wine. The hotter the weather the better it tastes!
|
Merlot
A bigger masculine red wine! Oak dominates now but will integrate in time giving way to mouth filling fruit underneath. Masterfully crafted for the future; yet, will hold now to any steak or heavy red pasta dish. Crushed plum and ripe blackberry layer nicely soon to dominate in this exceptional Merlot. Polished, refined but a forward gentleman!
|
Pinot Grigio
There is no oak in this wine! Its showy citrus and old world type minerality is one rarely witnessed in the new world. This is a true expression of terrior for us at Fox Meadow! This traditional ultra premium Pinot Grigio has balance and elegance.
|
Pinot Gris
A more “user friendly” style of this white Pinot! Vinted in the Alsatian style that starts with rich nectar and blossoms and unfolds with melons and apples to dominate this matchless bottling. The zesty acid balance pleases with just a touch of residual sugar, measured at less than 1%. This wine offers domineering fruit and balanced acidity.
|
Syrah
A plush intense wine with plenty to like! Deep, rich, round, flavorful and softness all packed in this gem of a Syrah. Fruit tones of ripe boysenberry and candied blueberry dance from the glass and are complemented with vanilla bean and very subtle bacon fat undertones. Very broad in scope, nice robust texture, black cherry finish with a touch of anise at the end. This wine is a rare jewel.
|
Viognier
Mature essences of pear, peach and honeydew intertwine making this “spot on” Viognier outstanding. The textured palate exudes sleek and pure mango with a ripe pineapple nuance. Perfumed, cashmere and voluminous.
