The story

Cabernet Franc, white and red

Endhardt Vineyards was founded in 2018 by Hannes Endhardt, a Southern Germany native, and his wife Sarah. The estate spans 46 acres on Lincoln Road. First vines went in the ground in 2019, the tasting room opened in fall 2021, and the property now farms 11 acres across seven varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Grüner Veltliner, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec.

Two blocks, two expressions

The Upper Block sits on warmer, shale-heavy soils that produce rich, expressive fruit with lifted aromatics. The Lower Block’s cooler, clay-driven ground delivers balance, structure and natural freshness.

Recognition

Six Gold medals at the Virginia Governor’s Cup, three consecutive Golds (2019, 2020, 2021) for the Fervor Red and Best Bordeaux Blend in Loudoun 2024, plus Best Wine in Loudoun 2024 and a Double Gold at the San Francisco Chronicle for the Upper Block Sauvignon Blanc. Annual production is about 1,000 cases.
