Terroir that reveals richness

Planted in 2021 on 3.0 acres, our Carménère block sits on gravelly, well-drained silt-loam over basalt.
We hand-tend canopies and follow sustainable soil-and-water practices to ensure even ripening.

The result is deep ruby color, savory tannins, and dark-plum aromatics balanced by bright mid palate freshness; ideal for standout varietals or complex blends.
