The winery was completed in 1991, just in time for the harvest of our first vintage. We produced 380 cases that year, and twenty-four vintages later we are still producing less than 1000 cases per year.
The small winery building (under 800 sq ft) is constructed with 2-foot thick rammed earth walls which help maintain the cool, even temperatures required for optimum barrel aging for the one hundred French oak barrels stacked three high inside.
The covered porch on the south side of the winery is used during crush for the fermentation bins and press-off and later in the year for bottling.
Adjacent to the winery is our residence, which serves as tasting room, office, labeling area and storage facility.
