At Illahe, our goal is to make wine as naturally as possible from soil to bottle. We work by hand on small lots with age-old techniques and materials. Our focus is to grow and make quality pinot noir and white wines that express the vintage and their varietal characteristics. Some of our wines are made entirely by hand, with no electricity or modern mechanization. We use a gentle basket press and age our pinot noir in French oak.
Quality wine starts with quality fruit in the vineyard. Our 80-acre, south-facing vineyard lives in shallow clay soils. We are a sustainable, LIVE-certified vineyard. And like our friends in the Deep Roots Coalition, which is committed to dry agriculture and responsible water practices, we do not irrigate mature plants. We have used horses in the vineyard for 13 years to deliver grapes to the winery at harvest. Our first horses, Doc and Bea, are retired and live on a nearby farm.
