At Black Ankle Vineyards, we believe that the beautiful rolling hills of Maryland are perfectly suited to yield wines of great complexity, subtlety and nuance - wines that can compare favorably with the finest Europe has to offer. We believe that a truly great wine comes only from a truly great vineyard, and we are confident that our mix of soils, climate, grape varieties, viticulture, personal commitment, and a bit of magic will be the right formula. We are committed to coaxing memorable wines from our little piece of earth.
