In 2004, when we committed to making a luxury Cabernet Sauvignon wine from grapes grown in our respective vineyards, we agreed to deepen that commitment through meticulous vineyard and winery practices. Our guiding principles included organic farming methods, restricted yields, multiple cluster sorting and aging in French oak barrels. In 2008, we began the progression from sustainable ‘green’ farming methods and restricted yields to true biodynamic soil cultivation.

Thus, began a relationship with renowned biodynamic soil expert and winemaker, Philippe Armenier. Biodynamic Farming acknowledges the soil as a living organism and utilizes only naturally derived plant and soil treatments. We practice sustainable organic agricultural traditions and nourish the plants naturally.

We believe this fundamental change in soil management reinforces our goal to produce a wine that reveals the exceptional spirit of the “Magic Mountain”. This results in grapes of intense flavor and richness, displaying the true character inherent to the Oakville AVA.

The eleven organically farmed growing sites continue to provide exceptional fruit for Oakville East. Winemaker Sarah Gott is enthusiastic about the quality that has become a hallmark of these vineyards. “Every growing season is unique, with a singular impact on each varietal and vineyard. These expertly managed vineyards combine magnificently to produce an age-worthy wine of complex flavors, focused tannins and superb color.”
