We start with high quality farming techniques - our vineyards are farmed organically or biodynamically. We carefully manage crop loads to ensure optimal ripening.
Small lot processing and fermentations are followed by very gentle pressing, to provide for purity of flavors and support development of complex aromas. We never rush the wines through the cellar, our top barrel aged Pinot Noirs see 18 months of barrel time, using the finest french oak cooperage.
Holloran Vineyard Designate Wines
Our top cuvees are offered under the reserve label, and provide flavors and aromas that are representative of their source vineyard or AVA. These reserve wines are most often from specific tanks or groups of barrels that are chosen for their excellence, and because they reflect the unique characteristics of the varietal and the block where they were grown.
Holloran AVA Wines
The Holloran AVA (American Viticulture Area) wines are from one or more sites within an AVA. This label represents a premium bottling, where we felt we could make the best wine from blending.
The Stafford Hill Label
Stafford Hill is our 'second label', and offers outstanding value for handcrafted, small production wines. Produced from the same vineyard sources, using the same hands-on, traditional winemaking approach.
