About the Vineyard
“Flute - Tour - Aay”, is a special brand of four varietals created by Chrysalis Vineyards and is their foray into natural low intervention wines. Chrysalis is about growing Norton, the REAL American grape, along with other tested European varieties, which thrive in the Virginia soils and climate. Chrysalis’s mission is to produce wines of such distinction that they stand solely on their own merits as world-class wines, without any further explanation or excuse (you know, the old “Well, this is pretty good for a Virginia ___.”). And Norton is from here… it’s ours… our own native Virginia grape, Vitis aestivalis. How cool is that? We think very much so.
