Winery

Techniques & Philosophy

We employ a combination of modern techniques and old world traditions, practicing both the cuvee and "field blending" methods, to create a range of distinctive varietals. To ensure flawless berries reach the fermentation process, we hand-sort grapes when they arrive at the winery. Our open-top, double-jacketed fermenters allow precise temperature control during "cold soak" periods and primary fermentation -- essential for color, flavor, and tannin extraction. Occasional délestage ("rack & return") aerates the wine. After ratchet basket pressing, we age our wines in French oak barrels for at least 18 months; minimal racking lets wine clarify naturally. Patience, sagacity, gumption, and a balance between classic and modern methods are foundations for crafting the world-class wines offered by our small, family-run artisanal winery.
