Uninhibited Wine Making
Uninhibited Wine Making
Since 2006 we have been making our standard portfolio of 8 premium quality Virginia wines. These wines let the fruit speak for itself - viogniers that taste as viogniers should, petit verdot that does the same. They are an expression of a moment in time in the place where they grew.
Sauvignon Gris Orange Wine 2023
Fermented on its skins with an ancient yeast, this orange wine is light, fresh, and ready for you to enjoy now. With ripe fruit flavors of mango and melon, as well as citrus notes, Sauvignon Gris pairs well with scallops, prawns, and mushrooms. Available inside our Tasting Room and online for purchase.
Flying Fox Vermouth is our first foray into working with flavors beyond the grape. Our seasonal line up highlights the bounty of each season and can be enjoyed neat or in a fancy Fox-tail (see what we did there?)
Is to honor the emerging Virginia Wine industry with unique expressions of Varietal character and authenticity of place, but also to push our own limits and comfort levels with wine making that is uninhibited by history or convention
Our limited production and sharp focus create not only a consistent portfolio of premium quality wines, but also the opportunity for play and experimentation outside of that portfolio in our Sly Fox series, and our Award Winning Seasonal Vermouth.
We have two separate vineyard sites, which allow us to use climactic variability to our advantage. Our Flying Fox Vineyard is located in the Monticello AVA and as a warmer site is where we grow all of our red varieties. Ridge Run Vineyard in the Shenandoah AVA is a cooler, higher site and is where we grow our whites.
We are Emily, Elliott, Chloe, George and Tralyn, together we have half a century's worth of experience in the Virginia wine industry. Flying Fox is our opportunity to play with Virginia wine unencumbered by the need for events, wide-spread wholesale distribution and food. Flying Fox quite simply is our place to truly focus on wine and how best to make it.
