WILLOWCROFT Riesling 750ml

$28.00

Willowcroft is Loudoun County's original winery, planted on Catoctin Ridge above Leesburg back in 1984, long before Virginia wine was a destination. This Riesling comes from the same estate that's collected national wine-competition medals for decades. It's a Northern Virginia staple: local, unpretentious, the bottle you grab for a porch pour with the Blue Ridge in view, not one you save for a special occasion. Support the county's oldest label.

Off-dry in the house style, with granny smith apple, citrus and honeyed notes typical of Willowcroft's Riesling bottlings. Bright acidity keeps it food-friendly rather than sweet, with a clean, crisp finish.

Classic matches for Riesling: Spicy Thai or Szechuan, pork, sushi, salty snacks.

Willowcroft sits atop the Catoctin Ridge on the southern edge of Leesburg, with panoramic views over the Loudoun Valley and Blue Ridge Mountains. Opened in 1984, it's Loudoun County's oldest winery, housed in a converted red barn, with a history of national wine-competition awards.
