In 2003, we planted specifically selected “clones” of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sauvignon Blanc, all vinifera grapes selected for each soil type on the farm.

Our vineyards total 10.5 acres on our 14-acre site, totaling 1089 vines per acre. The highest point of the vineyard is 28 feet above sea level and the lowest point is 9 feet. The southeast edge of the vineyard is just 100 feet from a tidal saltwater inlet. 

During the growing season, extensive leaf-pulling, hedging, and canopy management, all done by hand, promote airflow and sun exposure for each grape cluster. Only the highest quality grapes are sent to the winery.

They say that great wines are made in the vineyard, and, each season our vineyard is managed and maintained to provide us with the highest quality fruit possible.
