White Oak Vineyards

No tour here. Just a tasting. The winery where you taste is up higher on the hill than the vineyard so you can look down on it from the porch of the winery. Very good wine. Beautiful vineyard. Nice staff.

Very nice winery. The tour was very informative. I learned a few things that I had not known before.

Norton Wine Review: White Oak Vineyards, nestled in between native & hybrid deciduous azaleas and whose wines are labeled Southern Oak Wines, is one of those places where you quickly appreciate the efforts made by the owners. We usually can bop quickly in-and-out of wineries accomplishing our intended visit, but at this location we left two hours later with a mixed case in hand of their Burgundy Norton and other wines. The owner and vintner interestingly used an Australian “flex-tank” with added new medium toast French oak planks which properly added structure and brought texture to the tannins. This estate grown Burgundy Norton blend (85% Norton and 15% Cabernet) was an example of a good Norton wine made today that I’m willing to bet if put away for awhile will get better in the years to come. An interesting winery doing new things successfully with other grapes; as, Villard and their Chambourcin wine which is truly a Southern treat.
