Our winemaking "style" is solely determined by this place or terrior we call "Paradigm." Winemaking is agriculture when you own your vineyards and are able to farm them to promote the very best Earth will give you. All of our selections of wines are made from five varietals on the estate. Every wine is 100% farmed and grown by us.
Complexity in our wines supported by luscious fruit and acidity is our hallmark. Our efforts during harvest and barrel cellaring concentrate on maintaining the freshness from the first day we handpicked each vineyard block. Simple winemaking protocols are employed while crucial “timing” oriented winemaking decisions rule each day.
Dark Cabernet color with beautiful aromas of black cherry, cassis, plus 5-spice, vanilla. Big, ripe and mouthcoating across the palate. The flavors are similar to the aromas with ripe fruit, berry/cherry pie, moderate tannins, and nice length. This wine shows enough structure to be age-worth, yet soft and balanced enough to enjoy upon release. Flavors linger in this tasty, dense wine. Tastes like Oakville. -Heidi Barrett

Review:
This is very old-vine Verdejo – some approaching 200 years – from Nieva, a cool region south of Valladolid in the province of Segovia. Here, the signature sandy soils take centre stage, resulting in a precise and chiselled white wine that shows off the freshness of the area. Typical varietal bitterness (hemp and grapefruit pith) combines with subtle oak to create a mouthwatering and textured white that will certainly develop further over the coming years. Organic.

"Smoky and complex, this centenary Verdejo from Nieva balances grapefruit pith and mango with a subtle leesy texture. The oak is understated, allowing Segovia’s hallmark acidity and sandy grip to shine through. Layered, bitter-edged, and mouthwatering, it’s a serious, terroir driven wine with remarkable freshness and a long, mineral finish. 2025-28"
