Nestled in the heart of Northern Virginia's wine country, The Vineyards & Winery at Lost Creek is a 50-acre boutique winery with 8-acres of estate vineyard. Our winery is family-owned and operated, and our wines are produced utilizing sustainable farming practices.
Our Philosophy
At Lost Creek, we believe in letting the fruit speak for itself. We focus on sustainable vineyard practices that utilize organic and minimal environmental impact practices to promote sustainable farming and living soil. Our winemaking style is focused on showcasing the local fruit of Loudoun County and using high-quality winemaking techniques to produce elegant and complex wines with acidity and fruitiness.
Winemaking Style
Our winemaking style is focused on showcasing the local fruit of Loudoun County, using high-quality winemaking techniques to produce elegant and complex wines with acidity and fruitiness. Our Chardonnay is whole-cluster pressed and barrel fermented in French Oak barrels. Our red fruit begins with a 3-day cold soak, followed by a natural primary fermentation and extended maceration. We believe in long slow fermentations, therefore we perform whole berry fermentation so at press time we are still experiencing low levels of fermentation in the French Oak barrels. The wines are barrel-aged for 18 months and bottle-aged between 6 to 12 months prior to release.
100% Loudoun County, Virginia Wines
All wines from Lost Creek are produced on-site in our winery and hand-crafted from 100% Loudoun County, Virginia grapes. Our fruit is harvested from our 16-acre estate vineyard as well as from fruit on Short Hill Mountain and in Bluemont, Virginia.
