The Vines
Our vineyard is planted with a small number of thoughtfully chosen varieties, selected for their compatibility with site, climate, and long-term balance.
Our farming philosophy prioritizes balance, vine health, and the distinct character of our site. Each planting decision reflects a long-term view of stewardship and an understanding that vineyard expression begins well before harvest.
We favor fewer varieties over many. This focus allows us to understand each planting deeply and to give every vine the attention it deserves. Rather than chasing trends, we select plant material based on its compatibility with our specific site conditions, exposure, and soil composition.
Patience defines our approach to establishment. Young vines are given time to develop strong root systems before being asked to produce meaningful fruit. This early investment pays dividends in vine longevity and fruit quality for decades to come.
What Is Planted
Our vineyard is planted with a small number of carefully selected varieties chosen for their compatibility with site, climate, and long-term balance. These plantings reflect a deliberate, restrained approach focused on vine health and the expression of place.
Riesling
Selected for its ability to express site and maintain natural balance in cooler conditions.
Grüner Veltliner
Chosen for its responsiveness to diurnal shifts and compatibility with disciplined farming.
Sémillon
A restrained planting valued for adaptability, structure, and longevity.
Montepulciano
Established in warmer exposures where the variety can mature evenly over time.
Dolcetto
Planted for site compatibility and consistent ripening under careful management.
These plantings will continue to evolve as the vineyard matures and our understanding of the site deepens.
Planting Approach
Site Compatibility
Plantings are selected based on climate, elevation, exposure, and long-term vine balance rather than trends. We study our site conditions carefully and choose varieties that will thrive here naturally, requiring minimal intervention to reach their potential.
Establishment & Early Years
Careful establishment, training, and patience define the early years of vine life. We emphasize longevity over early yield, allowing root systems to develop fully before the vine is asked to bear meaningful fruit. This restraint builds the foundation for decades of healthy production.
Long-Term Perspective
Planting decisions are made with decades in mind, prioritizing vine health and adaptability over short-term outcomes. We understand that the vineyard we are building today will be farmed by future generations, and every choice reflects that responsibility.
Plantings evolve as vines mature and our understanding of the site deepens. All decisions are made with a long-term view toward vineyard health and generational stewardship.
