Brrr... ⁣it's frost season. Preventing frost dam

Brrr... ⁣it's frost season. Preventing frost damage is some of the most consquential farming we do all year. If you've ever walked to the base of Kanzler Estate and seen big green contraptions, you've seen our frost fans. They're probably the most meaningful thing we’ve done in terms of sustainability. There’s no stamp to put on a wine bottle to acknowledge it, but it’s an important part of how we manage things and lower our impact. Here's winemaker Alex Kanzler explaining how the fans work. ⠀
⠀
Because we're such a small operation, the winemaker himself is often checking the temperature throughout the night (a scenario of exhaustion and intense care that feels a lot like the newborn stage). He sometimes ends up on a four-wheeler in the vineyard in the darkness, making sure equipment is working. ⠀

⁣1. Newsletters are being tucked into boxes as we enter the last three days of the Spring Release. The back label of the Russian River Valley Pinot Noir blend shows the 2020 vineyard breakdown. // 2. This is where we are: the Sebastopol Hills. // 3. Kanzler Estate. Why is the house inefficiently in the middle of the vineyard? Steve Kanzler’s spring newsletter will tell you all about it. // 4. How great that the oak trees were preserved when Walker Station Vineyard was planted; not everyone makes that choice. // 5. The fog creeps toward Mes Filles Vineyard, our most coastal site. ⠀
