MIRAFLORES WINERY

Our philosophy is very traditional – in order to produce great wines we need the best possible grapes. Therefore, we have concentrated tremendous efforts in the development and management of the vineyards. The vines are meticulously tended – we believe in crop thinning, hand-picking, hand-sorting, foot stomping and other labor-intensive activities.

Observing the maturation of the clusters allows us to harvest our grapes under ideal conditions. When the fruit enters our cellar, it follows a natural process of fermentation with limited interventions. A true minimalist approach which allows the grapes to express their unique characteristics is paramount to our philosophy. Our credo – allow the terroir to express itself.

After fermentation, our wine is blended in a way that expresses the natural qualities of the fruit, not forced into a style of preconceived notions.

At Miraflores Winery, we strive to emulate the old world tradition of crafting memorable wines, while also indulging the senses with gracious and welcoming surroundings.

Architecture, gardens, friendships and tradition contribute to a special sense of place. The wines and the place give us deep satisfaction that our dedication brings joy to the many people who drink our wines and enjoy the sanctuary of our land.
