The harvest of 21 tons of Merlot and Norton grapes is expected to produce 18,000 bottles or 38 barrels of wine. The winemaking process has modernized with the use of destemming machines but fermentation and aging processes remain similar. Merlot produces plum and berry flavored wines while Norton grapes make a jammy, fruit-forward wine high in anthocyanins. The winery's tasting room is open daily from 11am to 15 minutes before 7pm and on Fridays until 8pm, offering 9 Virginia wines for a $12 tasting fee.
