About Antiquum Farm:
Story: Stephen Hagen and his wife Niki met in 1996; 60 days after their first date, they purchased the property that is now Antiquum Farm, along with its 20.5ha of vineyards. They wanted to offer their future children, Daisy and Juel, the childhood that Stephen was lucky to have.

Bearing both traits of a warm ripe site and a high-elevation late ripening site, Antiquum Farm is a place of anomaly. It defies any clear classification. The site consistently records some of the warmest daytime vineyard temperatures in the valley. The fruit maturity is regularly well advanced in comparison to most other sites. However, this is not the whole story. If it were, one might expect to find broad jammy wines lacking structure or balance. In truth, the vineyard yields well framed, deep dark fruit, fine polished tannins, rippling high toned almost tropical acidities and confectionary delights.

The soils are cultivated in the tradition of pre-1940s agriculture. No outside fertilizers, synthetic or otherwise, are used. The vineyard floor is intensively managed for abundant life. This means letting the wild in, while contributing species enhance vine health, insect habitat and diversity.

Vinification: fermentation with indigenous yeasts for all the wines, which are vegan. The wines are unfined and left to settled naturally.

Blacksburg Wine Lab is located at 223 Gilbert Street in Blacksburg, VA.
