Overview
Halter Ranch Vineyard consists of 19 varieties in 78 separate blocks. SIP Certified (Sustainability in Practice) since 2008, we produce both Rhône & Bordeaux blends. The vines occupy the steepest, most south-facing slopes on the ranch, up to 1750 feet in elevation, and are primarily dry farmed in calcareous limestone soils.
