Viticulture & Winemaking That Holds Up.
Organic vineyard and winery advising across North Carolina and the Southeast.
Strong vineyards. Better wine. Same set of decisions.
Site, variety, timing, and process all carry through from the field to the cellar.
I work with vineyard owners and wineries to make those decisions clear and consistent, so the end result reflects the work that went into it.
The vineyard and the winery aren’t separate systems - they’re one process.
Where I’m Most Useful
Vineyard Planning and site setup
Variety selection for Southeastern conditions
Organic and low-intervention growing systems
Vineyard troubleshooting and recovery
Winemaking decisions, fermentation, and blending
Vineyard-to-cellar continuity and process alignment
