Kristof Anderson, winemaker, has been with us since 2003. He favors a gentle and patient winemaking approach, 90% of which happens before the grapes ever leave the vine. This includes hand harvesting at dawn to ensure pristine cluster condition upon arrival at the winery; hand sorting at three different stages and taking advantage of the state of the art gravity flow winery.

Incredibly, Kristof separately ferments as many as 40 individual vineyard blocks each vintage all in small French oak barrels. This extensive array of fermentations offers him more components to compose the final blend.

The final blend will always be the one that most vividly expresses our distinct vineyards during a single harvest season.
