Terroir Driven
Our goal is to deliver the expression of our soils, our weather, our farming, and our people through wine. We seek to showcase the elegance and purity of our Catoctin shale, specific to only this place. In order to maintain the potential of the vineyard, we practice low intervention winemaking, but with meticulous precision:
Reds
Picked according to taste, not chemistry
Hand harvested, triple sorted
Fermented in concrete
Gentle extraction during fermentation to promote balance and elegance
Wine transfers done with nitrogen via pressure racking
No filtration
Whites
Picked with an emphasis on preserving natural acidity
Hand harvested, triple sorted
Fermented in barrel
Élevage for 10 months on fermentation lees
No fining, sterile filtration
