Organic | Family Owned | Family Operated
We farm 3.5 acres of organic grapes. We are planted in the fertile soils of the Northern Sacramento Valley with the Italian varietals Barbera, Sangiovese & Pinot Grigio. Our terrain is well suited for these varietals because of the hot summer days and cool nights we experience being nestled between the vast walnut orchards which give us great temperature swings at night during the growing seasons. We take pride in practicing sustainable farming with our grapes to ensure quality in every cluster. Living at the vineyard allows us to watch the vines go through their magnificent growth cycle every year and to tend to their every need.
Sustainability
We strive to be conscientious of our impact on the environment. There are several ways in which we practice sustainability. We farm our grapes organically and only apply products that are approved for organic farming. Additionally, we dry farm or irrigate our grapes as minimally as possible. We practice no till farming and we mow only when needed, leaving limited traffic in the vineyard
and helping natural cover crops to dominate the vineyard floor.
When seeking to outsource grapes for winemaking, we choose the highest quality grapes from the closest vineyards possible to reduce the mileage of transporting the grapes to the winery. When building our winery, we designed it in a manner to improve energy efficiency, creating smaller rooms for tighter temperature control. We also purchased many of the building supplies, decorations, and fixtures for the winery from reuse stores. You will notice many hand-made items around the winery created from scrap metal and wood such as the bar, the large cellar door, and winery tables. In addition to grapes and winemaking, are also passionate about
sustainability and being stewards of the earth.
