The Shenandoah Valley, located at the heart of the States of Virginia and West Virginia, is an AVA (American Viticultural Area) appellation gaining increasing renown on the east coast of the United States. Known for its majestic landscapes, this valley benefits from a unique climate, characterised by hot summers and mild winters. The vineyards, planted on well-drained clay-limestone soils, produce a diverse range of quality wines.
The flagship grape varieties of the Shenandoah Valley include Riesling, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc, which are distinguished by their balance and aromatic complexity. The white wines are often fresh and vibrant, while the reds are elegant with well-integrated tannins.
