We planted grapevines we believed would thrive in our climate and soils, rather than the most popular ones, because we aim to make the best wine possible here.  A poor example of a familiar wine is not our goal.  And while introducing unfamiliar wines to our customers takes extra effort, so be it.  Therefore, our estate plantings are almost exclusively Austrian, with names like Blaufränkisch, Zweigelt and Grüner Veltliner.  Some of our sourced grapes are perhaps more familiar.
