One of their website statements is \u201cwe always allow the wine to do the talking, leading its own life through fermentation and ageing in the winery providing what we believe is the most honest expression of the fruit that we started with.\u201d The estate vineyard is 5 hectares on Moutere clays, growing Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
