We do not make wine by force.
We observe conditions.
We wait.
We act only when intervention is warranted.
Some elements are left unresolved.
Resolution, when forced, erases character.
Each season presents its own pressures: weather, timing, variability, limits. Some of these can be managed. Others must be carried.
Attention, applied.
Our work is not to smooth those forces away, but to decide which ones matter. The wines we release are shaped by those decisions.
Grapes are harvested according to condition, not schedule. Fermentations are guided, but not coerced. Temperature, time, and movement are adjusted as needed.
Not every wine is driven toward balance.
In some cases, tension is the point. A wine may be held longer to allow structure to settle. Another may be released earlier, while its edges are still present.
These choices are deliberate.
timing
restraint
observation
Each wine is named for a moment in its making where a decision carried weight. The marks that accompany those names reference the conditions that shaped the wine: time, restraint, pressure, heat, stillness, release.
They are not instructions.
They are not explanations.
The work records itself.
