Stagecoach Vineyard is mountain farming at its most extreme, with most of the ‘soil’ comprising of varying stone compositions. This rugged, rocky soil captures heat during the day and radiates it into the evening, making Stagecoach one of the warmer sites we farm. The struggling vines produce small clusters that possess Stagecoach’s signature intensity.
