Business Description
|
Wine lover and entrepreneur Dennis Horton began his winemaking venture with a small home vineyard in Madison County, Virginia in 1983. It did not take him long to realize that, although the Virginia summers were warm enough to ripen almost any grape variety, the humid conditions favored growing grapes with thicker skins and loose clusters. The search was on for varieties that would flourish in the Virginia growing region and had the capacity to make some of the finest wines in the world.
The national success of these wines has shown that if the right grapes are planted in the right climate, the result can be stunning, world class wines. In the future, Horton will lead the way with Viognier, Marsanne, Mourvedre and Touriga, and continue to explore new grapes and wines to discover the best that Virginia viticulture can produce.
