Back vineyards contain Chardonnay and Pinot noir
We planted the back vineyards last, and included 4.5 acres of Calera Pinot noir, and a couple of acres of 828, plus Chardonnay 76 and 96.
Compost Building
The new compost building is fundamental to our Certified Sustainable vineyard. Using the manure from 20 Arabian horses who live on the ranch, we create compost in 30 days without turning the pile using an automatic blower system piped under the building.
The entire compost requirements of the vineyard can be provided by the ranch.
New Reservoir Defeats Frost
Reservoir completed in July holds over one million cubic feet of water prevents Jack Frost from defeating our grape efforts. We can spray water over the entire 21 acres of vineyard raising the temperature above freezing for an unlimited amount of time.
