Our vineyards do more than grow exceptional grapes.

Located in Lodi, California, our Vermentino and Sangiovese benefit from deep, sandy-loam soils shaped by ancient rivers and a Mediterranean climate that’s perfect for naturally thriving vines.

We farm in partnership with the Ledbetter family—third-generation stewards of this land— who follow regenerative, organic, and Biodynamic® practices to produce exceptional grapes.

“We’ve farmed this land for three generations, and are transitioning more land to regenerative. It’s not just about quality grapes—it’s about leaving the land better for the next generation.”

— Craig Ledbetter

Our Vineyard Practices

These practices don’t just protect the land—they improve it. Our vineyards capture more carbon, increase resilience to drought and disease, and help restore balance to the ecosystem.
