Nestled in the Great Valley of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, Fincastle Vineyard & Winery produces wines using traditional Bordeaux small scale techniques. From the vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Chardonnay come wines pressed gently and aged in oak. After 10 years in the planning, David, Georgia, and their son, Richard opened Botetourt County's first farm winery in 2003 with a special emphasis on quality and not quantity. According to the Virginia Wine Guide "Fincastle's 2001 reds are beautifully handcrafted blockbuster wines, dark, lush and intensely flavored" Virginia Wine Guide.

Built into the hillside by our farmhouse, the new winery is a gravity-fed operation, thus insuring the completely natural handling of the wine.

The unique construction of the winery utilizes top-level in-ground primary fermentation storage, below which are three levels of barrel storage, providing for the downward flow of wine during racking.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
