Viognier was introduced into the state of Virginia by Dennis Horton in 1991. He was met with a lot of opposition, being told it would not grow or produce enough fruit. Horton released Virginia's first Viognier in 1992 and produce the world's first sparkling Viognier just 6 years later in 1998. Dennis has received world wide attention for his Viognier. Dennis Horton started "Viognier is the red drinkers white"; It is full bodied, bold white has honey aromas and smooth peach and apricot flavors. This vintage was made by Dennis's granddaughter: Caitlin Horotn It has been a LONG time since we have been able to bottle a 100% Viognier the 2019 harvest made it possible. Enjoy!

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.
