For the final vineyard on the tour, we hiked the hill up the Estate to see the baby Daedalus vines and Lucy, the vineyard dog. These vines, about 7 acres of densely planted Pinot Noir, went into the ground last July. They were planted with a unique staking system which allows for mechanized in-row cultivation and keeps us from ever having to spray for weeds. We farm our property all organically because organic farming produces better grapes. There are plans to plant 3 more acres and build the winery on Red Hills Road.
