Business Description
|
Linden Vineyards is a 5,000 case winery and vineyard situated on the Virginia Blue Ridge, 65 miles west of Washington, D.C. Jim Law, with family help, purchased what was then an abandoned hardscrabble farm in 1983. The first 6 acres were cleared and prepared for planting. The 1985 planting was from vines mostly from cuttings and grafts propagated by our own nursery the previous year. They included Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Vidal and Seyval. Our first vintage was 1987 and the first release and opening of the winery was 1988.
Linden Vineyards Ltd. is the winery operation. In 2002 we built our ‘dream’ crush/press facility that we believe will put us in the position to make great wines. New sorting tables in addition to gentler handling of grapes have already yielded wines with more purity and finesse.
Three vineyards supply all the grapes used to make Linden wines: Hardscrabble, the estate vineyard, 18 acres surrounding the winery; Glen Manor, 6 acres, 7 miles west of Linden, and Avenius, 5 acres, less than one mile north of Linden Vineyards. Our first love is the vines. As we begin to understand soil, site and vine relationships, we are replanting with more appropriate varieties.
