Professionally Farmed, Personally Tended
Our vineyard is managed by Daniel Martinez, an experienced vineyard professional whose background includes Alta Colina Vineyards and Gibbs Vineyards of G2. His focus is producing premium fruit through attentive farming, careful canopy and crop management, and as many organic practices as practical.
We are not certified organic, but we follow responsible farming practices and personally tend this small vineyard with quality—not volume—as the priority. Because the vineyard is only one acre, every vine receives close attention throughout the growing season.
