Native yeast onlyOur point of view
We farm by parcel, harvest by hand, and let the season keep its edges. Nothing is rushed into sameness.
In 1987, the Row family replanted a wind-bent pear orchard with five acres of vine. They kept the old stone terraces, followed the natural drainage, and learned the hill one uneven season at a time.

Winemaker & vineyard lead
Mara Ellery
Mara trained in cool-climate cellars before returning to the highlands. Her work begins outdoors: walking soil moisture, tasting berries, and deciding what the fruit does not need.
“The hill does not repeat itself. Our work is to notice why.”
Come taste with us
Walk the rows. Taste where the wines were raised.
