Description:
PORT styled is our sweet dessert wine made with 100% native Virginia Norton grapes aged in high quality American oak. We are aging a second half of the vintage in whiskey barrels and expect to have some interesting tasting comparisons between the two methods (with chocolate of course!!!).

Varietal Definition
Norton:
In 1835, Dr. Daniel Norton of Virginia developed this grape varietal that was originally known as the Virginia Seedling. Widely planted in the Midwest (where it is sometimes called Cynthiana), it has become a source of interest to East Coast vintners in recent years. It produces a dark, inky wine with flavors of plums and cherries. Horton Vineyards in Virginia is particularly interested in reviving the grape's reputation. In the South, look for Norton (or Cynthiana) from Moonrise Bay, Mountain Valley, Three Sisters, Tiger Mountain and Tennessee Valley.
