“It is a fine thing to have your head in the air, but its best to keep your boots on the ground.”
Sure, we’re winemakers. But we’re farmers at heart. And you get that feeling the minute you walk through our doors or open up one of our bottles. Farmers need perseverance and passion to do what they do. And that same thing applies here. It’s a spirit forged from years of intense effort and commitment. You can tell hard work has gone into what we make, and we’re not afraid to show it.
There’s real dirt on our hands and real fortitude in our spirit, and that’s what drives us to make such good wine that we know real people love.
