Glen Manor Morales Rosé 2021
Origin: Front Royal, VA
Retail: $24.95 | Sale: $22.46
Located on a western slope of the northern Blue Ridge Mountains, between 1000 and 1400 feet above sea level. These plantings consist of 12.2 acres under vine, growing in deep, steep and well drained rocky soils. The vines are cane pruned and trained to both the Open Lyre and Double Guyot system.Named for José Morales and his family, who alongside the White family have worked the vineyard since its establishment.
This rosé is made by blending grapes grown specifically for rosé with juice bled off from the reds during the beginning of the maceration period (saignée). While skin contact time and varietal blend change from year to year, it is always a blend of the red grapes grown on the estate.
The Morales Rosé is a light, dry rosé ideal for charcuterie and summer meals and is intended to be enjoyed with the freshness of warm seasons.

Glen Manor Hodder Hill 2016
Origin: Front Royal, VA
Retail: $49.95 | Sale: $44.95
Hodder Hill is a structured red blend (usually Cabernet Sauvignon dominant), focused on the terroir of our mountain farm. The blend of varieties and nuances of flavor change with every season, just as nature gives us different fruit every season, and we allow the best of this bounty to frame our wine.
In the same way that this wine showcases the structure that our vineyards produce, its name showcases the structure of our family; it is named for Raymond Hodder Rudacille, the second generation of our family to farm and live on this land.
Cabernet Sauvignon 67%, Merlot 20%, Petit Verdot 13%
