Unfiltered, gravity movedOur point of view
Hard seasons teach useful things. We farm for resilience, make wine without cosmetic shortcuts, and keep the door genuinely open.
Highwater was named after the mark still visible on the pump-house wall, left by the spring flood of 2016.

Iris Vale
Iris rebuilt the lower vineyard after two floods, shifting rows uphill and turning the old pump house into a warm, compact cellar.
“Resilience should taste alive, not armored. The wine still needs lift.”
