The vineyard was founded in April 2004 with the planting of a small research vineyard of 72 vines. The purpose of this original planting was to evaluate the suitability of different varietals and rootstocks in our soil. This small experiment confirmed much of the research we performed during our initial feasibility studies. These vines were eventually pulled up and the rows re-aligned, but we did save the very first vine that we planted and moved it to the corner of the vineyard closest to the house. It continues to thrive.
