 Hartwood
Winery is happy to announce the release of our new Varietal Series
of labels. The first wines released in this series were Sauvignon
Blanc and Cabernet Franc at our Harvest Celebration on October 27, at
the winery. The Viognier was released at our Holiday
Celebration November 17 and 18. Shortly, others will join the
series of wines. The label for each of these new wines will feature
unique colorings but will be tied together by a similar design.
The Varietal Series of labels
joins Hartwood’s other two series of labels. The original
Rappahannock Series of wines was released in 1989 when Hartwood
Winery first opened. Most of these labels feature our famous logo in
a block-cut design. This series of labels honors the Rappahannock
River which was so important in the development of Fredericksburg as
a city.
Hartwood’s Artist Series
of labels was first released with the 1993 vintage of wines. This
series originally contained labels featuring three acrylic paintings
and one pen and ink sketch by Robyn Ryan. “Harvest Run”,
“French Dawn”, “Winter Lord”, and “Moving
Out” still are used on wines today, primarily made from
Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and blends of other vinifera grapes.
In 1995, the Hartwood Stag, painted by Karin Gnegy, was added to this
series and still graces our Claret label. All of these original
paintings can be viewed at the winery. |

2005 Chardonnay...A
dry wine with soft
fruitiness, reminiscent or ripe apples and pears; enhanced by the eight
months spent in oak -- both French and American. These rich complex
flavors perfectly complement cream sauces and many foods.
Hartwood
Station White --
a blend of Chardonnay, Viognier and
Rkatsiteli
with
no oak. Floral aromas lead into rich fruity flavors with some
lingering citrus, making this wine perfect by itself or matching it
with fish, fowl, or pork.
Viognier...Perfumy
honeysuckle
aromas lead into flavors reminiscent of light tropical fruits, with
hints of rose petals. Explosive fruitiness lingers and will
compiment most chicken or pork dishes.
Sauvignon
Blanc...envokes
the essence of new hay with soft
creamy limes and hints of toasted vanillin. A great match for
scallops or other simply prepared seafood.
Rappahannock
Rose...This
traditional styled rose' wine is dry and made from a blend of
Chambourcin and small amount of Seyval Blanc. Soft cherry-like
flavors balanced by hints of citrus allow this wine to be enjoyed as
an apéritif or with light foods.
Rappahannock
White...A
medium dry wine that is a bend of Seyval Blanc and Vidal Blanc.
Matches well with all types of food; great on a picnic, or just
sipping while relaxing on the patio, porch or deck.
Deweese White...A
semi-sweet wine with robust melon and tropical fruit flavors. A
marvelous match for curries or spicy foods. Made from Vidal Blanc and
honors the first commercial vineyard in Stafford County.
Rappahannock
Red...A light,
fruity, blended red wine in the Beaujolais style. Aged completely in
stainless steel. A perfect match with barbecued or grilled foods,
tomato based pastas, and even chocolate! Can be served chilled which
will enhance the natural fruitiness of the wine.
Claret...Our
Claret is dominantly Cabernet Sauvignon
from a younger vineyard that is enhanced by six months of aging in
American oak barrels. A little Merlot and a touch of Cabernet Franc
are blended together to round out the palate.
Cabernet
Franc...Aromas
of black cherry with hints of chocolate evolve into bright cherry
flavors with soft toasty oakiness, with lingering hints of green
tobacco and spiciness.
