These sustainable farming practices are more and more important to the wine consumer, wineries and general public. 31.46 acres are planted in vineyard which have historically produced 100+ tons of fine award-winning wine grapes per vintage (with some years cropping in excess of 130 tons). -5.62 acres of Pinot Blanc Grapes -9.2 acres of Pinot Gris -14.74 acres of Pinot Noir (with wide clone varieties, Pinot Noir 115, 114, 777, Pommard and Wadensvil; Pinot Blanc is all Colmar clones 159 and 161; and Pinot Gris are Dijon clones 146, 152, and UCD 103) About 12 acres are grafted rootstocks, approximately 2 of which were planted in 2020 and the rest are self-rooted.
