FARMING/WINEMAKING PRACTICES

Our producers live on the family farms and vineyards they cultivate, and many of them have young children and pets living with them and playing in the vineyards, so they care about what is happening on their properties They all work to minimize any inputs and let mother nature do her job They are farmers first and are out in the vineyards practically every day working with respect for the earth and their local environment While many have chosen to go down the certification path, some have not but still use organic and sustainable practices such as minimizing the use of water in the winery, using minimal amounts of only naturally derived inputs Quite a few use natural yeast ferments whenever possible Sulfites are unavoidable in the production of wine, but care is taken to minimize the use of these as well
