Situated at an elevation of 1,700 feet, our 54-acre Estate Vineyard experiences a unique interplay of climatic factors. The iron-rich soil teeming with volcanic ash grants our grapes an unparalleled complexity. Elevated above the fog layer, our vines revel in longer hang times and temperature inversions that offer warm nights and cooler days. This idiosyncratic microclimate allows us to craft wines that are compelling in both taste and structure.
Beyond the sheer beauty of our Estate lies a steadfast commitment to organic farming. We view it as a pledge to environmental stewardship and an essential framework for producing wines that reflect the purity of their origins. Beyond foregoing synthetic fertilizers and insecticides, our approach includes composting and manure applications to enrich our soil. This creates a thriving ecosystem around our vines, enhancing both resilience and grape quality. While organic farming may entail higher costs upfront, the long-term benefits to the land and the caliber of our wines are immeasurable. The CCOF Certification isn't just a stamp of approval; it's an emblem of our enduring respect for the land.
