For us wine is a lifestyle, a passion and the result of a year round creative process that never ceases to amaze us as winemakers and grape growers.  Wine for us is an object of beauty and sophistication which has been central to the cultivation of joy and inspiration in people’s lives for millennia.  We also see it as something very regional, very local and very much part of a sense of place.  A sense which is created by the people, the geography, the weather, the soil and everything else that can only be found where the wine is grown, made and first enjoyed.  There are other things besides food and wine which have this sense of place. Things like local artists, local craftsmanship and local festivals.
