We grow only two grapes, both Rhone varietals. Our Syrah is made up of a variety of scions and rootstocks, with Clone 7 on 3309 predominating.

Our Viognier is a UC Davis clone from French stock, on a Riparis rootstock.

All our vines are “deficit irrigated”. We fertilize the vines on an individual basis, at the minimum rate consistent with plant health at low vigour. We recycle all vineyard prunings, leaves and discarded fruit back into the soil.
