Windrock Vineyard

WindRock is our newest estate vineyard, developed in partnership with our family and the Pisoni family. Planted just north of Garys’ Vineyard, the site sits in a rugged, wind-swept outpost defined by persistent coastal winds and rocky, upturned soils. The row orientation is carefully chosen to balance sun exposure against the powerful winds that sweep through the site each afternoon.
