Oh, the joys of harvest—when all life grows exuberant and expressive, and stoic starches transform into sensuous sugars.  Both a culmination and a commencment, harvest is a sacred act of ushering Nature into the winery via the “ vessels”  we call fruit.

Wine is defined as the fermentation of fruit; therefore, you can make wine out of grapes, apples, pears, plums and so on.

The art of winemaking starts on the farm and in the soil. Managing the health and fertility of the soil in which our trees and plants grow, maintaining an ecological diversity of life on our farm, and growing specific varieties that are appropriate to our climate, are examples of how farming practices can affect our winemaking practices.
