Borboleta is Chrysalis Vineyards' Port-style wine made from 100% Norton grapes and fortified with Norton neutral sprits. Rich and sweet, it makes a perfect apertif!
Buttorfleoge is Chrysalis Vineyards' first sparkling wine and a new take on Norton based on an ancient practice. This 100% whole-clustered pressed Norton wine is produced using only the natural microflora found on the skins and rachises of the grapes grown on the Locksley Estate. The result is a true, terroir-driven pétillant-naturel (or Pét Nat), and an exciting addition to the Norton lineup here at Chrysalis Vineyards.
Estate Bottled Norton is our largest bottling of Norton wine and our traditional introduction to Norton as a variety. It is smooth, rich, aromatic, fruit-forward and approachable at an early age.
This is Chrysalis Vineyards’ flagship wine. This blend offers the upfront fruit and intense color of Norton balanced with the structure and Old-World character of Tannat and Petit Verdot.
Despite the whimsical name, this 100% Norton wine is very drinkable and fruit foward. Lighter bodied than some of our other Nortons, this is a great introduction to the Norton varietal.
Petit Verdot is a highly valued grape varietal that we grow here in Virginia. Originally from France, this wine has dark fruit notes, notes of coffee and black pepper that accompany the well-rounded tannins.
