OUR PHILOSOPHY

THE PURSUIT OF ORGANIC FARMING

For the same reason you farm tomatoes in your garden for flavor and health, we farm grapes for flavor and health. We believe how you build the soil is directly tied to the quality it yields. We don’t spray herbicides on our vineyards, instead, our growers make judicious tractor passes and hand labor to keep weeds at bay, and where possible invite sheep into the vineyard as “wooly weeders”. We aim to avoid over-compression of the soil in both approaches. Our growers use owl boxes, fencing and bird netting to discourage animals who would like to eat the grapes. Our vineyards are planted with cover crops that help nourish the soil to keep it healthy for full fruit development. The vineyard is a balanced ecological community that is fostered in order to enhance the land and environment for future generations.

SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING

There are very few businesses that are as vertically integrated as winemaking. We farm the grapes, we guide all production decisions, we determine all packaging decisions, then we share the product with people and their friends and family inside their homes or out at restaurants. This process gives us a voice in the movement of sustainability that we take seriously.

In order to promote this philosophy we bottle into light weight glass, label the bottles with 100% post-consumer waste labels, and close them with nautral cork. We source once used shipping containers to give them a second life in route to you. 100% of our shipping is refrigerated ground as air shipping can contribute up to 1200% more carbon emissions. As much as we would love our grandchildren to revel in a glass of wine we made, we want them to have the chance to delight in the land around us.
