Hume Vineyards
|
|
This is the part where we tell you about how Hume Vineyards is the culmination of our dream, the combination of our passion for wine and our love of the Virginia Piedmont, of our spirit of innovation and experimentation, of our goal to craft outstanding wines, and of sparing no hardship while doing it.
We probably also should say something about how we’ve worked with some of the most forward-thinking minds in the wine industry since inception and how we spent years searching for the optimal property that affords ideal climate, soil, and orientation.
Wait, we almost forgot the part about how we handpicked our clones and rootstocks to best reflect our unique terroir. How could we not mention “terroir”? It’d be like watching a sitcom without a laugh track. And, or course, how we only grow varietals that are best suited to producing outstanding wines in Virginia.
But frankly, we’d much rather be able to tell you in person over a glass of wine. So why don’t you stop by our tasting room and we’ll share our story with you. Don’t worry. We’re small enough that either one of us will be pouring the wines on the day you visit.

Cabernet Sauvignon
Loaded with roasted coffee, leather, vanilla bean, and bacon, this one's got more flavors than a big city Starbucks during the morning rush hour. Well structured with good balance and a savory finish. A great food wine. 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc.
|
Chambourcin
A vibrant, firm, intense Chambourcin exploding with spicy plum, and layered with dried currant, black pepper, and licorice. This one could fool you into thinking it's a Syrah. We at Hume Vineyards are great champions of the Chambourcin grape. Pairs well with grilled steaks, spicy sausage, and barbecued dishes.
|
Detour
A tight and austere youngster with fresh cut grass, tobacco leaf, and mineral giving way to subtle oak and cedar notes. Tannic with a chewy finish, this one will only improve with age. Best decanted. 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot.
|
Vidal Blanc
A crisp, dry-style Vidal with just a hint of sweetness. Featuring pineapple, kiwi, apricot, and tropical fruit aromas. Good balance with a nice, long finish. Perfect by itself on hot summer days, or as an accompaniment to sharp cheeses, cold cuts, and fruity desserts. 1% residual sugar.
