Keswick Vineyards

Virginia Viognier, Petit Manseng, and Petit Verdot from Central Region.

Keswick Vineyards produces wines from Virginia's Central Region, drawing on varieties suited to the state's continental climate. The winery's portfolio centers on distinctive grapes: Viognier, Petit Manseng, and Petit Verdot. The Signature Series Viognier and Nektar Petit Manseng have both earned 91-point ratings from prestige critics including Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Falstaff. Petit Verdot, a Bordeaux variety prized for structure and aging potential, rounds out the core offerings at 89.7 points. Virginia's Central Region offers the cool-climate conditions and diurnal temperature swings that allow white varieties like Viognier to develop aromatic complexity while red grapes achieve balance and depth. Keswick's focus on these less conventional selections reflects the region's capacity to move beyond traditional Eastern varietals.
