Then , there is an annual viewpoint of time . Each year is a single block . For a winemaker , a vintage is an agglomeration of all those circadian moments , bundled into a phrase like “ 2020 ” and expressed as a bottle of wine . That wine reflects a lot of things : the weather , the site , the grape , some new winemaking techniques , perhaps , and the blend put together by the team . And , for the rest of any winemaker ’ s life , that is how the year will be remembered . In that bottle , reflecting those things .
We are just beginning to press new red wines from the 2020 vintage . They will now go into barrel where they will mature and develop . In this COVID year , this year that has given us so much to remember in a negative way and not want to look back on , there are two pieces of time that I hope we hold on to with reverence . First , let us remember the community , the understanding and cooperation of our community and neighbors . And second , the wines . Let ’ s enjoy them for years to come .
Nate Walsh is a career winegrower . Starting as a cellar rat at Horton Vineyards in Central , Virginia , he went on to work in vineyards and wineries in the Willamette Valley and Central Otago before spending seven years as the winemaker and vineyard manager for Sunset Hills Vineyard in Purcellville , Virginia , during a time of large expansion . It was during this time that he began searching for a site from which he knew one could create truly premium Virginia wine .
