The Norton grape was the first grape created in the United Sates that you could turn into wine and drink. Unfortunately, Norton's most practical use is for wine making so it was wiped out of Virginia during prohibition and concord planted in its place. However, the grape made its way to the state of Missouri where is survived and was revived after prohibition, becoming their state grape. Dennis is accredited for bringing the grape back to the state of Virginia in 1992 and producing the first commercial wine since Prohibition. Residual Sugar: 0% Pairings: Norton with your game dishes such as venison, duck or turkey. Tomato based foods bring out a plum and cherry flavor in the wine - Margarita pizza, Chicken Parmesan or stuffed shells.

Horton Vineyards

Horton Vineyards was founded in 1989 by Dennis Horton with the pioneering vision to introduce grapes with loose clusters and thick skins that would flourish in Virginia’s humid climate and have the capacity to produce wines to compete with the finest in the world. This search resulted in the first bottlings of many of the cornerstones of today’s vibrant industry including Viognier, Cabernet Franc, Norton, Petit Verdot, Tannat and Petit Manseng. In addition, we specialize in beautiful rarities such as Albarino, Rkatsiteli, Roussanne, Pinotage, Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cao, Syrah and Mourvedre.
Our wines will delight and excite everyone from those starting out on their wine journey to the most seasoned connoisseur; we invite you to join us in our quest for discovery here at Horton Vineyards.
