About US
| Beginnings Founded in 2004 by Willard and Diane Elledge, the Wolf Gap Vineyard and Winery is a 50-acre estate located in the Shenandoah Valley with spectacular views from the wine-tasting deck. Perched on a ridge, the deck offers valley and mountain views including Wolf Gap, the geographical feature from which the vineyard takes its name. Grape and Wine Production The folks at Wolf Gap Vineyard are dedicated to growing hand nurtured, pristine grapes to produce the best quality wine possible year in and year out. We have chosen to make small batches of wine in order to provide the care and attention needed to produce truly superior wines rarely found in larger, mass-production wineries. The Wolf Gap inventory currently includes vintage bottles of rich reds including Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Chambourcin and Mariage, a Bordeaux-style blend. Our white wine lineup currently features an exciting 50-50 Viognier-Traminette blend and a succulant Chardonnay. We also have a delicious semi-sweet rosé and a yummy semi-sweet blueberry wine. For a complete listing just click on the "Wolf Gap Wines" tab (upper left). Winter Hours: Normally we are open for tastings from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. daily except Wed. However, this winter we will be closed from 2 Jan until 23 Feb, reopening on 24 Feb. After reopening in Feb 2012 we will make ourselves available at your convenience for private tours and tastings that will give you an exclusive look at our facility and an extensive tasting of our wines. We ask only that you call ahead: (540) 984-3306 or email us at admin@wolfgapvineyard.com so that we may prepare for your visit. = = = = = Bulletins = = = = = Say farewell to the 2006 Chambourcin After a two-year run of this unbelievable, smoky, jammy dark red wine, we are down to the last few bottles and have taken it off the tasting list. The good news is that the 2009 Chambourcin is beginning to taste exactly like the 2006. Stay tuned for it's release in the Spring of 2012. In the meantime we have replaced the 2006 Chambourcin with our 2008 Merlot. Another dark red, jammy Bordeaux-style wine that pairs perfectly with filet mignon or rare rack of lamb. Smooth and fruity. Come out and taste it before Wolf Gap Willie drinks it all. More good news! We have just released the 2007 Cab Franc RESERVE. You will drool when you stick your nose into the aromatics of this full-bodied red. This IS the quintessential Cabernet Franc. Classic peppery finish. Serve with a Chateaubriand. Rare, of course. The Blueberry wine is still here! We have made the yummy blueberry wine a continuing event here at Wolf Gap. It is so popular we decided to make it a permanent item. We make this delicious semi-sweet fruit wine 100% from whole blueberries. Believe me, it's hard work making wine out of whole blueberries, but it is worth it. Come out and try a sip of this yummy wine. Caution, it's severe blueberry. We are now using our new brick-arched entrance and deck fronting the wine tasting room. Come out and have a sip of Wolf Gap wine on the new deck overlooking the vineyard and Massanutten mountain. Bring a picnic or have one of our cheese plates with a glass of Wolf Gap wine. The 2011 Traminette and Viognier grape production was again blended to create a delicious, fruity white wine that is pleasant to the nose and exciting to the tongue. This semi-dry, Alsatian-style, white will delight all varieties of wine lovers. Some say it's better than the 2006. We plan to release it as soon as we sell all the 2009 vintage. We made a lot, so come out and pick up a case for the summer. = = = = = = Notice = = = = = = For those of you who have been following the development of our 2010 Cabernet Sauvignan, you will be glad to know it has finished it's 14 months in oak and has been transferred to a stainless steel barrel where it will clarify and await bottling in March. Thereafter this unbelievably delicious Bordeaux red will be allowed to age in the cellar for another three years. This is the best of the best and there will be only 25 cases (22 after Wolf Gap Willie siphons off his share). We will have limited tastings of this rare nectar from time to time reserved for Wolf Gap Pack members only. If you are not yet a member, talk to Wolf Gap Willie about joining your next time out. |
