Since this property came under our stewardship, we have transitioned to using only organic inputs in our farming, many of which we now make on-site from raw ingredients. We are also working to incorporate regenerative and sustainable practices increasingly into our operation. Our approach to farming and winemaking isn’t driven by the desire to preach or soapbox about philosophy or false perceptions of moral superiority. We don’t do things because of implied marketing advantages or because of monetary profit motives. Our approach is based upon what we believe to be best for our land, our vines, and the people who care for them, nothing more and nothing less. We’re not interested in arguing about whether organic is better than biodynamic or whether natural wine is better than traditional wines. We do what we do the way we do it because we think that’s just the right way to go about it.
Some specific changes we’ve already made include overhauling all of our irrigation and frost protection systems to utilize technology and minimize our consumption of energy and resources, thus reducing our impact on the water table each year by as much as 30% and consuming far less electricity in the process. All of the pressure treated wood posts in the vineyard have been replaced with steel trellising systems. Longterm, we will also be incorporating solar power, animal power, and food cultivation as a part of our commitment to achieving sustainability on the farm. Join us on the adventure!
