As part of our Summer Vacation Celebration on Saturday June 22nd we're releasing 2018 Fieldwork, our signature blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Modeled after classic wines of the Loire Valley in France, we find that these two grapes also perfectly compliment one another grown here in the Mid-Atlantic. With fresh aromatics, tropical fruit notes from the Sauvignon Blanc and notes of pear and nuttiness from the Chardonnay, Fieldwork has become a favorite over the years. We're really excited about this new vintage!

For the 2018 harvest, we field-blended and co-fermented both the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, then allowed the wine to gently age in a steel tank for about 7 months until bottling in April 2019.

2018 Fieldwork is very clean on the nose, with hints of cut cantaloupe and ripe pear. Tropical notes that include starfruit accompany the well-balanced body of this vintage. Watch out for a pleasant, silky lemon finish! 2018 Fieldwork will pair well with a chicken Alfredo or a salty oyster feast. Cellar up to 2022.

Happy Friday everyone!! We're excited to release the new vintage of our flagship Cabernet Franc blend, Sandstone, TOMORROW in our tasting room.

The 2018 vintage consists of 85% of Cabernet Franc harvested from the estate and partner sites in the Mid-Atlantic. The blend is rounded out by a bit of Petit Verdot and Chambourcin.

The historically wet weather in 2018 gave us a very light and nuanced expression of Cabernet Franc. In order to preserve the freshness of the wine, we chose to bottle the 2018 vintage a bit earlier than we typically have done in years past. We love making wine in a climate that is never the same year-on-year, leading to a variety of wine differences every vintage, each unique and delicious in their own right!

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
"2018 Sandstone aromatics suggest floral and build to dried plum. As this light-bodied wine relaxes, it becomes silky and full of blackberries. Subtle tobacco notes enhance the velvety soft finish. Sandstone compliments semi-firm cheeses and whole-hog barbecue. Cellar up to 2022." @ Rocklands Farm Winery

*He is a WSET III and Certified Sommelier.

*Before joining our team, Michael was with King Family Vineyards in VA.

This Saturday we're excited to introduce a trio of new ciders, all crafted with and inspired by local fruits. We think cider should be fresh, fun, and approachable and we can't wait for you to try them all!

A new label for us this year, 2018 "Kingsbury" is our apple-cherry cider produced exclusively with sweet cherries from our friend Gene Kingsbury of Kingsbury Orchard just down the road and with apples from nearby McCleaf's Orchard. We love how this one turned out! Notes of asian pear and apple are most present on the nose followed by a lovely cherry and white grapefruit finish bubbling on the palate. Yum!

2018 Kingsbury Cider will be available beginning this Saturday starting at 11am in our tasting room as part of a featured flight of our three new ciders. Kingsbury will also be sold by the glass and bottle and is highly recommended to be paired with soft-rind goat cheese from Cherry Glen and a tin of tasty Virginia peanuts. Just 166 cases of Kingsbury produced, so get it while it's here!

This Saturday we're excited to introduce a trio of new ciders, all crafted with and inspired by local fruits. We think cider should be fresh, fun, and approachable and we can't wait for you to try them all!

First up, meet 2018 "Bounty," our peach-apple cider. Produced with the first harvest of peaches from our home orchard along with apples and peaches from our buddies at McCleaf's Orchard, Bounty incorporates a massive amount of fresh peaches (over 1,000 pounds!) resulting in nostalgic summer fruit stand aromas and an unmistakable, bright golden color in the glass. Notes of fresh bread, green apple, and dried tea leaf all merry nicely with the bubbles on the palate.

2018 Bounty Cider will be available beginning this Saturday starting at 11am in our tasting room as part of a featured flight along with two other, soon to be announced, ciders. Bounty will also be sold by the glass and bottle and is highly recommended to be enjoyed with friends on our patio! #feednourishengage #maythe4thbewithyou @ Rocklands Farm Winery
