From the Winery’s Blurb:
To these ends we strive to source the best wine grapes possible, going to great lengths in our vineyard to ensure our viticultural practices deliver on the promise of our terroir while maintaining varietal nuances. We do not endeavor to create homogenous vintages, but rather allow the subtleties of each growing season to be captured in the bottle. You may ask: “Why does this year’s Viognier bouquet have intense notes of tropical fruit while the previous vintage presented pink grapefruit?” Our answer: “Because that is what nature intended.”
In keeping with our brand identity of marrying wine and music, our flagship wines are named after musical terms to represent the emotions they inspire.

Our Visit:

We visited Notaviva Vineyards on 19 September 2010. “They sure know how to build wineries in northern Loudoun County. Each one looks like a postcard – Hillsborough, Breaux, Notaviva. The birth of Notaviva was even documented in an 8-part series on HGTV’s Dream House. Painted a stunning steel blue outside, with rockers lining a long front porch, the tasting room building is the house you always wanted. Inside, an intimate curved tasting bar take center stage, but the real star of the show is the wall of windows overlooking the pond and picnic tables down the hill. “”Wine country’s best live music”" promises the winery’s sign as you enter the property, and music is everywhere: at the pond by the campfire on Friday nights, on stage in the tasting room on Saturdays and Sundays, and at festivals throughout the year. Steve Mackey, Notaviva’s owner with his wife Shannon, spent years touring with bands and producing music, and the music love has now found a home at Notaviva. Oh, and the wine’s good, too. Steve and Shannon worked with the owner of Fabbioli Cellars while they got off the ground, and it’s paying off. They had the best Viognier we tasted in 48 wineries. Kids and pets welcome; great spot for weddings and private parties; bring your picnics.” |
