The Roxbury Vineyards, consisting of 12 acres, is planted in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Viognier. This section takes its name from the 1860''s Victorian mansion built by Dabney Carr Wirt, the youngest son of the former U.S. Attorney General William Wirt. It is now the home of Ingleside proprietor Doug Flemer.
Roxbury Vineyards are oriented such that they are well-drained towards the Potomac River. The grapes from the medium textured soils produce wines that are serious yet approachable. |
