What you can’t see is the sturdy rootstock reaching deep into those well-draining sandy loam soils, limiting canopy growth that along with a prime microclimate of warm days and colder nights, creates a lengthy growing season. The reward: concentrated grapes, which our source weaves into immensely elegant expressions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo preserve and showcase this epic terroir, our source has been committed to organic viticulture and sustainable production practices since their founding.
