We farm without synthetic sprays, plant cover crops between the rows and compost every pressing back into the soil. Certification took three years; the vines noticed sooner.

Organic farming means accepting smaller yields in hard years. In return we get living soil, deeper roots and grapes that taste unmistakably of this hillside.

Visit in spring and you will see it: wildflowers between the rows, bees over the clover and a vineyard that feels alive. That is the whole philosophy in one view.
