Estate wine is grown, made, and bottled on a single contiguous property. We grow the grapes for all of our wines on our estate. We don’t purchase grapes from other growers or other regions to make our wines. Estate wine is important to us because it underlines our commitment to expressing terroir in our wines.
By working withe the same vineyards over many vintages, we develop intuition about the latent strengths and characteristics of each batch that we pick.
Our farming philosophy arises naturally from making estate wine. Because our grapes grow year after year from the same vines, we recognise the vital importance of improving our natural ecosystem. Organic farming means that we don’t use any pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemicals in our vineyards. Regenerative farming means that we rehabilitate degraded areas, set aside land for wilderness, and support the development of holistic ecosystems encompassing soil, climate, flora, and fauna. Above all, we respect nature and use a light touch.
