WHITE FENCES VINEYARD High away in the blackness of the sky over Irvington, Virginia, the meteors often come in showers, slicing the sky by the hundreds or even thousands like the fins of silver fish around a boat at night. Beneath this excess of magic and motion lies the small vineyard called White Fences. While every wine has the character of the land in its soul, we call our wines Meteor because of the unique relationship between land and sky at White Fences. We have only six acres in the vineyard. And we make only a few handcrafted wines. But there is not a bottle of wine we create that does not have in its character that certain sense of itself and where it comes from.
