WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY

Fred made a name for himself in the late 1990s producing incredibly rich and exotic wines using stainless steel tanks and small barrels for vinification. His ideas about winemaking began to evolve in 1999 when he returned to traditional large wooden casks and sought to produce balanced wines with greater terroir expression. Fred now believes that more sediment during vinification results in better spontaneous fermentation and the resulting wines have a greater potential for long aging. Single-vineyard wines are aged in 2500-liter acacia barrels and spend extended time on their lees. His philosophy is one of non-intervention and patience. “If we have one helping hand in the cellar,” says Fred, “it’s time.”
