A Peek Beneath Our Dirt

A glance off the Halter Ranch covered bridge, down toward what will soon be a waterfall, reveals one aspect of why our property is so well suited to growing wine grapes.  Soils throughout the ranch are full to bursting with limestone--literally; the earth is continually spitting large chunks of it up all over the property.  By encouraging deep root-growth these rocky soils cause proper stress to concentrate flavor and add complexity to the fruit.
