How We Farm
habitat
At least 50%
of natural habitat is preserved at each vineyard, as a vibrant, healthy ecosystem creates a healthier vineyard and more complex wines
100%
of all organic matter from harvest is composted and reused in the vineyard, encouraging beneficial microbial activity
Bee-friendly viticulture
maximizing native flora and fauna in the vineyard and thoughtful planting of wildflowers has increased our native bee species from 7 in 2020 to over 40 species present today, creating a thriving habitat for the bees and quality wine
100%
dry-farming in all of our vineyards, enabling the soil to naturally hold water and preserve the uniqueness of each site
Minimal tilling
across our estate vineyards, maximizing soil health by allowing the soil to photosynthesize
100%
free of pesticides or herbicides, eliminating toxins from our vines and the final product
farming
harvest
100%
of our fruit is both harvested and sorted solely by hand, preserving the integrity of the vines, the grape clusters, and the final product
Whole clusters
are incorporated into our red wine fermentations whenever possible, creating more complex and interesting wines
100%
of fermentations start with the indigenous yeasts present on the grapes, promoting a sense of place
