About Us - No Sweet Wines Here
Autumn
Hill Vineyards was started in 1979 by the Schwab family. The plantings
grew to 13 acres of Chardonnay, Viognier, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet
Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec, and a new Nebbiolo area. We have some of the
oldest Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in Virginia. The first
vintage was produced in 1986. Over the years, Avra and Ed have continued
to produce "Virginia wines with a European accent" and have grown to love
full bodied, dry wines. We do not produce any sweet wines.
Growth:
The
winery has grown over the years to include a barrel room where the
optimum temperature keeps the wines stable so they can develop slowly
in predominantly French Oak barrels to their fullest potential. Our red
wines are all unfiltered.
