Other notes: 

• All grapes are estate grown 

• All farming is organic

• This winery Exemplifies a "Family Owned" concept, where a visit to the winery results in meeting literally every member of the family, each of which plays a role in the winery and the restaurant. 

• The elephant that appears on each label signifies, at once, the concept of a a tight knit family group that sticks together, and an individual member of the family to whom each wine is dedicated.
