Vineyard specifics: Decomposed granite and clay soils. This is a very unique vineyard site within the valley as it lies within a tight fold that undulates and slopes steeply to the northwest. It is the first vineyard site one encounters when driving up in to the Valle de Guadalupe from the coast, thus it is the site that receives the greatest influence from the Pacific. Partially dry-farmed, in the most sustainable, mindful and organic way possible, it is a hallmark to the intersection between elegance and rusticity.

Other notes:
-
To visit this winery and sit down with Veronica and Nathaniel is to experience the poetry of human experience. From the chickens and goats roaming their fields to the countenance of Nathaniel and Verónica themselves, one feels as if they are within the writings of D.H. Lawrence when visiting this estate. They make wines from grapes that suffer, are given the bare minimum to survive and thus yield extremely expressive and utterly transparent sense of place.
