Winemaking

As custodians of two extraordinary Oakville vineyards, 575 OVX and Money Road Ranch, our winemaking philosophy centers around capturing the most vivid essence with every vintage. We do not seek to make the same wines every year, but rather bottle the most captivating expression of our unique terroir with each vintage. To do this, we favor a gentle, non-interventionist and patient winemaking approach, 90 percent of which happens before the grapes ever leave the vine. Even though only a mile apart, we are fortunate to have two vineyards that offer such different growing conditions which provide the opportunity for us to make wines with distinct personalities and flavor profiles. Each vintage brings its own challenges and that is something we embrace because it allows us to learn and have an even more intimate knowledge of the land. Hand harvesting, low yields, and meticulous sorting are amongst the many details that go into our thoughtful winemaking process. It takes more time and resources, but all are critical steps to create wines with our hallmark elegance and expression.
