The processes are gentle and natural with gravity used whenever possible to avoid pumping – meaning a forklift is often required. The grapes are picked by hand and delivered in small bins to the winery on the vineyard. The fruit is generally very clean when it arrives but it is hand-sorted again before passing into the de-stemmer and 1 ½ ton fermentation tanks. They are one of the 30 Oregon wineries that are part of the Carbon Neutral Initiative. The winery is insulated and is cooled and heated by an efficient heat pump system. They have installed solar panels and are working to become energy independent.
