The idyllic setting is easy to find but hard to leave located just off I64 at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The unique wines of Veritas are of high quality, derived from vitis vinifera with the exception of one French hybrid. Our philosophy is to make wine with the classic old world principles of Viticulture and Vinification at the same time using state of the art technology to capture varietal and regional character.

Chardonnay
-
Saddleback Chardonnay Saddleback Chardonnay is modeled after the “old world” style from Chablis, France. Utilizing 100% Chardonnay the wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks and matured in neutral French oak barrels for 4 months. The nose is clean showing aromas of ripe apples, honeydew melon, quince, kiwi and peach backed with subtle tones of toast and clove spice. The Saddleback Chardonnay is medium bodied and layered with ripe tree fruits continuing with soft impressions of toast and spice from oak aging.
-
Harlequin Reserve Chardonnay Harlequin Chardonnay barrel fermented and barrel aged for 6 months which helps to create layers of ripe fruit tones with a wonderful mouth feel. Delicate aroma of candied apples, pears, grapefruit and honey balanced with nuances of vanilla and butterscotch. The palate is consistent with the nose yet bringing on subtle flavors of clove and lightly toasted oak.
-
"Estate Bottled" Chardonnay is a clean crisp style produced solely in stainless steel tanks helping to keep the natural acidity of the grape. The nose is clean and lean showing aromas of citrus and under ripe tree fruits such as lemon, lime, green apple, quince, and white peach. The palate is light bodied and firm with acidity.
-
Petit Manseng
-
Petit Manseng is a white wine-producing grape that originates in the Jurancon region of southwest France, where it is highly regarded. The tropical flavors are jumping out of the glass with pineapple, mango, and candied citrus fruits backed with subtle nuances of spice and white flowers. The acidity carries the crisp, ripe flavors and allows the 5% residual sugar to become perfectly balanced as it resonates into a long clean finish.
-
Sauvignon Blanc
-
Fresh, fresh, and refresh are words that characterize our 2008 Sauvignon Blanc. Aromas of lime blossom, citrus, white peaches, pears and fresh mown grass. Natural zingy freshness accentuates the fruity bouquet with mouth-watering flavors of lemon and grapefruit.
-
Sauvignon Blanc Reserve Sauvignon Blanc Reserve shows intense aromatic quality that is best described as a “New World” style. The aroma and flavors show ripe gooseberry and grapefruit citrus backed with light herbaceous tones such as fresh cut grass.
-
Traminette
-
Kenmar Dessert Wine Kenmar is produced as an "Ice Wine" style. Intense palate richness of roses and sweetness of candied fruits. Pineapple, lychee, and ripe peaches with a hint of spice. The wine shows high viscosity and acidity balance which continues to unfold seductively on the palate.
-
Viognier
-
Viognier is a medium-full-bodied, pale golden wine, produces an elusive, almost tantalizing bouquet of apricots, peaches and white flowers. The first impression is an uplifting fruit-filled rush that tastes of ripe peaches, honey, fresh orange peel and lychee fruit.

2006 Scintilla Scintilla is our Brut sparkling wine made using equal portions of Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. This wine is made in the traditional method that is used in Champagne, France where the second fermentation is completed inside of the bottle to trap the bubbles. The aroma and flavors are extremely fresh and crisp reminiscent of acidic fruits such as lemon, green apple and pear, accented by a touch of yeast and toasted brioche. The finish is clean, long and showing beautiful acidity which is heightened by creamy overtones.
