Horton Vineyards
Wine lover and entrepreneur Dennis Horton began his winemaking venture with a small home vineyard in Madison County, Virginia in 1983. It did not take him long to realize that, although the Virginia summers were warm enough to ripen almost any grape variety, the humid conditions favored growing grapes with thicker skins and loose clusters. There began the search for varieties that would flourish in Virginia’s climate and had the capacity to produce some of the finest wines of the world.
– Description from hinaualan
Extremely fruity and full of complex flavors. Has a nice finish.Very drinkable.

Horton Blackberry Wine NV
Snoothrank:
Great blackberry wine. Smells so good it could be aroma therapy. Not too thick, very rich with deep berry flavors. We like to spike it with a dash of ginger ale for fizz at gatherings. Read More

Horton Vineyards Pear Orange County Pear Port NV
Snoothrank:
This is the only pear port I have been able to find and thus I give it 4 "stars" for originality and good taste. We had a pear port in a similar looking bottle, tried this one and it wasn't it... however... we were happily surprised and this one is a keeper. It's super sweet and a little thick- I have been told that it's a great base for sangria! Read More

I really like this wine. I wasn't expecting much and purchased to have on hand for random guest :-) ....well , I tasted the wine and it's delicious. I had it at room temp - initially a little bitter, but after letting it breathe for about 20 mins, the sweetness and blueberry flavor came through. I think I will try some of the other fruits by ...

I'm new to wine drinking and live in Fredericksburg, VA. I never realized that Virginia has so many wineries! I've been to a few and so far I like Marterella the best. Good atmosphere and good wine. My wine taste so far has been leaning towards mostly white wines. Any advice on good places that serve/sell wine in my area and on Virginia wines wo... Read More
