Why dry farm?

Dry farming sets our vineyard apart from those around us; our vines rely solely on rainwater absorbed and retained by the earth. This method yields grapes (and ultimately wine) with harmonious, robust, and unique character. Moreover, we believe vines cultivated through dry farming more accurately reflect the essence of our terroir.

Dry farming is also beneficial for the environment. By avoiding vine irrigation, we save millions of gallons of water throughout the vineyard’s lifespan. Managing each vine’s individual canopy does demand extra labor, but the exceptional wines we produce justifies this additional effort.
