Winemakers Mike and Kathy Stonum follow a straightforward ethos. Their method is labor-intensive and small batch, similar to the oldest wineries in Europe. Only premium grapes from their own vineyard and a select few additional vineyards that are personally known to them and are managed in their manner are used by Stonum. There is little intervention and gentle handling of the grapes. The goal of Stonum is to preserve the fruit’s harmony and integrity while capturing the rich nuances and complexity. Their wines will always accurately reflect the terroir in which they were produced.
