Virginia’s climate and soil types present their own unique challenges and victories which we do our best to accentuate each vintage. Leaning more towards an organic harmony with nature, we want the cleanest and most savory fruit possible to develop into wine in your glass. Bird boxes surround the vineyard to encourage native bird populations to keep malicious insects at bay. Using mostly natural nutrients in our spray programs develops healthier vines able to resist detrimental infections in the vineyard. This allows us to use minimal (if any) chemicals in the vineyard
Wine has a long and robust history tying cultures around the world to the land they cultivate while enriching the daily lives of all who experience its deliciousness. At Droumavalla Farm, we continue this luxurious farming tradition with the highest standards and practices in our vineyard. Our estate vineyard is 8 acres planted primarily to Bordeaux varietals on lush clay and loam soils with moderate relative elevation. Going into our 12th vintage from the estate, we are excited to see the complexities the fruit presents each year, now that they are over a decade old. To illuminate our guests’ exploration of wines from around the world, we do not shy away from pouring wines created in multiple international and domestic wine regions.
Our grapes come primarily from right outside the tasting room.
We rely on French oak with the majority being neutral second-fill barrels.
While keeping a Farm to Table mindset our wines are unique to the area because they're inspired by the goal to express the characteristics of the vineyard site and vintage as they constantly change.
"The goal is grapes being grown with intuition and intention. To create wine with authenticity and honesty".
On-site, we have 7.85 acres in total. We just replanted 1 acre of Chardonnay, 2 clones Wente clone (New World style) and Dijon clone (Burgundy style), 1 acre of Chardonel (Chardonnay and Seyval hybrid), just under 1 acre of Merlot, 1.5 acres of Cabernet Franc , close to 2 acres of Petit Verdot, 3/4 acre of Chambourcin and 3/4 acre of Petit Manseng (this block is Chambourcin heavy)
The name Droumavalla is Irish and means "a mile from town"
It takes approximately 1,204 grapes to make a bottle of wine.
