About

The name “8 Chains North” refers to the original Furnace Mountain Vineyard, planted 528 feet—eight surveyor’s chains—north of White’s Ford, a Civil War crossing along the Potomac River. Ben Renshaw, a veteran of Virginia’s wine industry since 1998, founded the winery in 2010 and developed four vineyard sites now totaling about 21 acres across Loudoun County. The Sturans couple continues to farm these sites, including the Waterford Vineyard beside the tasting room, soon to be renamed Zoe’s Vineyard. With vines dating back to 2004 and new plantings underway, the property’s mix of Albariño, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Syrah, and experimental Pinot Noir reflects both history and forward momentum.
