Winemaking

We are inspired by traditional winemaking while embracing modern, low impact techniques. All our wines are crafted with a light touch to showcase the grapes from which they are made. This means each wine is an expression of a time and place, not the thumbprint of a winemaker. That said, we always want to ensure wine quality for anyone enjoying our wine. New age techniques can greatly benefit some of our wines, and therefore we are not afraid to use them. Sometimes our wines are made with zero additives and no filtration, sometimes our wines require more work in the cellar. Our promise is to always be upfront about our processes and deliver the highest quality wine that we are able.

Local Vineyards

All of our fruit is sourced from small, regional vineyards. Local matters, and the Southeast has so much to offer in the world of wine that has yet to be fully discovered. We are also of the mindset that when it comes to sustainability, how one farms is paramount. Therefore we take great measures to work with local farmers who focus on sustainable grape varietals and practice low intensive farming, all while producing the highest quality fruit. All of our partner vineyards are carefully selected to highlight the regional terroir and make truly unique wines.

Sustainable Varietals

Most grapes that are used to make commercial wine come from the vine species Vitis vinifera. While the grapes from these vines can make incredible wines, vinifera did not evolve to withstand many of the common vineyard diseases that are prevalent in the world today. In the name of sustainability, many winemakers have been reexamining the tendency to only work with vinifera vines and have begun using other, non-vinifera species or crosses of the two vines, known as multi-vitis species. These “new” vines are far more disease resistant and therefore lend themselves to be farmed more sustainably.

We will always prioritize working with varietals that are adapted best to our regional climate. You might not always recognize the grapes we are working with, but we promise the wines they make are quality, or else we wouldn’t work with them.
