Wine made from grapes grown organically using natural composting techniques and special preparations of herbal sprays while following the astronomical calendar.
This Pinot Noir has limited use of new oak to keep the wine fresh and approachable for everyday drinking. Stafford Hills is the second label from Holloran Vineyards. Excellent quality at an affordable price.
