VITICULTURE & WineMaking PHILOSOPHY

Our philosophy at Lost Creek is to let the fruit speak for itself. We seek to make our wines from the fruit of the vineyard and minimize as much intervention in the cellar as possible. We focus on sustainable vineyard practices and meticulously prune the vineyard through the year to optimize fruit characteristics and ripeness depending on weather conditions during the growing season. 

Lost Creek's 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.  Our white wines are whole-cluster pressed with native fermentations and some barrel aging. We believe in long slow fermentations, therefore our red wines undergo whole berry fermentation with cluster inclusion in 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 Estate Vineyard and from our Mountain Vineyard in Bluemont, Virginia.
