* OUR GROWERS RESPECT THE LAND AND WORK IN HARMONY WITH NATURE.   ALL OF THEM FARM SUSTAINABLY AND MOST OF
THEM ONLY DRY-FARM.  FERMENTATION OCCURS NATURALLY WITH NATIVE YEAST STRAINS THAT FLOURISH ON HEALTHY VINES. WINES ARE OAKED ONLY TO HELP THEM AGE AND YOUNGER WINES ARE ONLY OAKED TO GIVE THEM A KEEL FOR A LONGER JOURNEY. WE WANT YOU TO TASTE "EL TERRUAR" OF EACH PLOT OF LAND AND REGION  WE WORK WITH - BUT MOST OF ALL WE WANT YOU TO ENJOY OUR WINES WITH FOOD.
