The Terroir...taste the soil

The French coined the term "terroir". The literal meaning is that each vineyard of grapes will develop a unique flavor influenced by the land and its own unique micro-climate. Our vineyard in Centerview, MO has a limestone and shale bedrock base about 60 inches from the surface which is ideal for grapes roots. The surface layer of the land is black, firm silty-clay loam. The land is terraced and has a unique terroir that should allow very good ripening of the grapes, moderate air circulation and black limestone influences that will add to the complexity of the grape juice. Our signature grape, Cabernet Franc is also the signature red grape of the Loire Valley of France. The wine you will taste from our grapes will not ever taste exactly like the Loire Valley which has its own terroir. Our Cabernet Franc will be influenced by the soil, wind, rainfall, winter cold, summer heat, and management of the vines. Our award winning Cabernet Franc is also influenced by the clones we have selected. We have clones 214, 332 and 327 in our vineyard blocs. Buy our wine and taste the soil. We hope you enjoy every unique character of soil and realize that Missouri can grow world class wines.
