The vines are dry farmed and grassed over, the focus being on a very low environmental impact . The winery participates in an Europe-wide study of biodiversity, encouraging the nesting of native birds and wildlife in the estate.
The soils that are composed of granite and calcareous argilo. In the spring, a careful disbudding is done by hand to minimize yields. Rows are grassed over to encourage biodiversity. Harvesting is done by hand to allow for better grape selection. Grapes are then brought to the winery in small cases to avoid crushing. The altitude makes it one of the cooler climate parts of the region, with ideal conditions for Pinot Noir. The cooling winds and higher elevations south facing hillsides (over 1,000 feet) allow the vineyards to be planted in optimal locations. Winemaker Tomas Bond has been making wine for almost two decades.
