Every vineyard is unique.
Each of our wines originates from a single local vineyard. Each vineyard has its own distinct terrior, which carries through to the finished wine and gives it character. See where our wines are born.
Estate Vineyard – Gewurtztraminer
Oldest plantings on the property, planted in 1978 and just below the main house. The vines are own-rooted (not on rootstock, something that’s relatively rare now, but was common in the 1960s and 1970s). The underlying soil is sandy clay loam over a bedrock of sandstone.
