| Can you believe it? We are well into our fifth year selling wines in our wine tasting complex that overlooks the Allegheny mountains and Wolf Gap, a geographical feature in that mountain chain. With this in mind, we created a video with some highlights of our vineyard and winery. After giving it a few seconds to "load", enjoy our video of events at Wolf Gap Vineyard: IT'S HISTORY: Now, over six years after we began operations by planting our vines and making a few barrels of wine from grapes we purchased elsewhere in "the valley", we have realigned our wine tasting selection --after finishing off some of our older vintages and bringing on other, younger wines. The very popular 2006 Syrah, which proved to be the smoothest red in our early inventory with rich berry flavors and a silky finish, is now a part of our rich history. We have also polished off the few bottles remaining of our 2006 Chambourcin, rich in plum and black cherry flavors and featuring a very commanding nose and delicate, smoky finish. The Chambourcin was a silver medal winner at VA Governor's Cup competition in 2010. As if that were not enough of what's past, you probably remember when we blended the Reserve Chambourcin and Reserve Cab Franc from 2007 to create the now-famous Mariage, a delicious dark red, Bordeaux-style blend. Sadly, it is also missing from the inventory due to popular demand. BUT WE STILL HAVE SOME GREAT REDS: Also prominent in the early vintages is the richly smooth 2007 Cabernet Franc, an exciting, bold red wine with exotic fruit flavors that make you think you are tasting a great Malbec. This bold red has opened up to reveal its delightfully fruity nose and smooth palate followed by a classic peppery finish, ready to be combined with a rare T-bone. (Steak not included.) This is another silver medal winner. Check it out. We still have 100 cases of this favorite. And don't wait until these fine reds are history: 2007 Cabernet Franc RESERVE 2008 Merlot 2008 Chamerlot Our white wine list includes our ever-popular 2009 Viognier- Traminette blend that is made exclusively here at Wolf Gap. Also, you may remember when we released our 2009 Chardonnay Estate Reserve. This pristine nectar was produced from the second harvest of these young Wolf Gap vines. You'll not be surprised to hear that once again we have sold out of this memorable Chardonnay, made with just a hint of oak and a smooth buttery taste that enhances the delicious fruit of the grape. The good news is that our 2011 Chardonnay will be released this Spring. For those of you who favor sweeter wines, we have a semi- sweet rose and a semi-sweet blueberry wine to satisfy your craving. On your next visit to Wolf Gap Vineyard, we look forward to showcasing our newest fine wines, all grown and produced in the Shenandoah Valley. We also give tours of the winery and vineyard for those who would like to learn more about how the grapes are grown and the wine is made. Most of all, we want to provide you with a wine tasting to acquaint you with all eight of the different wines we produce here at Wolf Gap. In the meantime, please call or email us and we will set up a private cellar tasting and tour at a time convenient to you. Our winery phone number is (540) 984-3306. Wolf Gap Willie's cell phone is (540) 325-3942. Call and wake him up! If you would like to order some of our wines to be shipped to your home follow this link. |
