Additional Information
This wine comes from grapes harvested during the deadly 2017 fire that occurred in Redwood Valley when we had to run for our lives in the middle of the night, right before harvest! We decided to come back several days later when the wind had changed direction. We were able to pick the fruits with a crew of friends and brave volunteers. We sometimes can taste the smoke in the wine, and that reminds us of the gargantuesque red wall of fire galloping towards us on that momentous night.
Silver, 2021 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.
We are a family farm growing natural agriculture grapes and crafting natural wines from our own estate vineyard in Mendocino county, Northern California. We strive to grow living soils and to produce beautiful healthy grapes in harmony with natural cycles. We are artisanal winegrowers and work on every single step, from growing our grapes to bottling the wine. Our family lifestyle is in harmony with the way we grow the grapes and make our wines and everyone is involved: the lables are designed by our two sons who also help us during harvest by driving the tractors.
In the vineyard, we follow the natural farming philosophy: no fertilizers nor pesticides of any kind, no-tilling, and dry-farming. This produces beautiful healthy vibrant grapes, and promotes and sustains a wondeful diversity of life in the vineyard and on the farm.
In the cellar, we don't use any additives of and we don't fine or filter. This produces pure vibrant wines that feel very alive in the mouth by respecting the living community in the wine and the natural fermentation and aging processes.
