What Others Are Saying About Biodynamics

Traditional Estate Farming

One of the purposes of Biodynamics is to capture the environment in a bottle of wine. Our Sonoma Mountain property is 85 acres. 45 acres are planted in grapes and 40 acres are gardens, insectories, olive groves, wetlands, ponds, riparian areas and forest border areas. These places are farmed and maintained with the same resources and energy as the grapes.

Think of our grapes as the lead character in the play and the surrounding landscapes as the supporting cast that makes the lead character interesting and believable. The more individualized and healthy our surrounding environment, the more true and intense the flavors of our grapes and wine.
