Program for September 2nd Meeting
Our speakers for 2 September will be Phillip and Mary Hart of AmByth Estate Winery. Phillip and his wife Mary’s Ambyth Winery is 100% dry-farmed, certified Biodyanmic farm, and natural winemakers.
AmByth Estate is Paso Robles' first and only winery to produce Demeter certified Biodynamic wines. They utilize the Biodynamic method of farming to enhance their observations of nature, and use these intimate insights as tools that allow their 20 acres of vineyards to express their true character through the grapes it produces. They want their grapes to be as unique to AmByth Estate as your thumbprint is to you.
They are Natural Winemakers: they let the grapes express themselves into wine without the aid of additives, adjustments or enhancements. The wines are made with Native Yeasts, they are foot stomped, they are aged and bottled without any added sulfites. Some are aged in barrel or stainless steel tanks, others are beautifully aged in Terra Cota Amphoras. They are Pure. They are Alive. They are Fresh.
Learn what Natural winemaking is all about.
