Our Wines
100% Estate Grown & Produced
Of the 36 acres located in Hillsboro Virginia, over 14 acres are planted with vines split into three fields. The West field - located just past the Civil War era stone wall - is planted with the French red Fer Servadou, and the French white Roussanne. The upper East field located in front of the Tasting Room is planted with both Petit Verdot and Tannat, both of which are red varieties originating in France. The lower East field located in from of the Estate is planted with Petit Menseng a white French varietal. The North field located on the hilly slope behind the Tasting Room is home to our Cabernet Sauvignon.
​
The varietals chosen and planted at Hillsborough are not only ideal for the northern Virginia microclimate, but yield fruit of exceptional quality. Meticulous care is given to the maintenance and cultivation of our plants with emphasis on environmentally friendly forms of pest management. Every aspect of the annual growth cycle is carefully planned and managed. Leaving nothing to chance, we foster an ideal environment for superb grape production.
