“We focus on low intervention wines that reflect a sense of place and time. We are minimalists in the cellar, and in the vineyard. Our wines are dry, unfined, unfiltered, and with no sulfites added. Just foot crushed grapes, settled in old wood, and bottled by hand at the proper time.”
Twenty year old vines on clay and limestone soils totalling 4 ha. Farming is organic, the grapes are harvested by hand. The wines are unfined, unfiltered, and have no added sulfur. Fermentation is with native yeasts in neutral oak.
