The Vineyards & Winery at Lost Creek
|
|
We have been avid wine lovers since we honeymooned in Bordeaux, France in 1998. Throughout our 23 years together, we always knew we would someday own a winery and vineyard. We started exploring opportunities in the wine industry in Napa Valley and were later introduced to Oregon’s Willamette Valley in the mid-2000's. We loved the idea of growing a business in an emerging wine region. The thought of being part of a transformation was exciting, but Oregon was still not the right place. Too much rain!
In 2007, corporate jobs brought our family to Virginia where we were introduced to “DC’s Wine Country”. We were surprisingly impressed with Virginia’s wine quality and since that time we started watching the Virginia wine industry grow and transform.
In April 2012 we found our opportunity to "jump-in" to the Virginia wine industry. While traveling back from a day of hiking with the family near Charlottesville, we stumbled onto Lost Creek and were instantly drawn to its charm and beauty. We purchased the property in September 2012.
Aimee’s passion for wine and Todd’s love of business made all this possible and we are very excited to introduce everyone to our vision for Lost Creek. Great wines grown in the superb terroir along the Blue Ridge Mountains of Loudoun County. Discover for yourself what makes Lost Creek wines so special.

Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet is stainless steel fermented and then barrel aged in old oak. It exhibits lots of fruit and velvety tannins. The 1/4% residual sugar forms the perfect balance with the acids and alcohol.
|
Chambourcin
Made from an American hybrid, this wine is stainless steel fermented, then barrel aged. The deep color and low tannins come from red meat grapes.
|
Chardonnay
Our Chardonnay is tank fermented and barrel aged in French Oak. It is nice and light, has great fruit character with just a hint of oak.
|
Late Harvest
These Vidal grapes were left on the vine for more sugar content, then frozen in our winery and pressed. The resulting juice is high in sweetness and the fermentation was stopped with 12% residual sugar. It is great as an accompaniment with dessert or it can be dessert in itself.
|
Merlot
This is a very unique semi-sweet Merlot wine. It is good with fun food like chili, pizza or burgers. A rare treat for those of us partial to sweeter white wines.
|
Reserve
This is a more traditional Merlot wine. It is dry, fruity and has the perfect balance of tannins. This wine is a perfect accompaniment to steaks or barbequed meats.
|
Rosé
The rosé is a blend of Merlot, Chardonnay and Vidal wines. It is suitable for both red and white wine drinkers. 2% residual sugar.
|
Spring Time
Spring Time is a blend of Vidal, Viognier, Chardonnay Muscat Canelli. Light and crisp, it has 1% residual sugar.
|
Sweet Summer
This wine consists of 25% Apple Wine and 75% Grape Wine (Vidal, Viognier, Chardonnay). It has 2% residual sugar and is light and fruity. Sweet summer is great for sipping on the patio any time of year.
