Philosophy


Philosophy
Favorite daughter of the Greek God, Zeus, Pallas Athena or simply, Pallas is known as the goddess of wisdom. Because of this gift she was charged with overseeing practical arts which included agriculture and winemaking. On the hill of the Acropolis, the Athenians built a temple to Pallas – the Parthenon.

Our philosophy of growing grapes and making wine in an environmentally safe manner is an important responsibility to land stewardship and the long-term relationship with our customers, our neighbors and the world. We strive to be environmentally friendly, economically sound and socially responsible with all our winery and viticulture practices.
We have taken many steps to ensure that our winery operates with sustainable agriculture in mind. We hope to minimize or prevent potential risks to the environment, the public and our staff. Best Management Practices Include: Vineyard row orientation to minimize erosion Buffer zones established with native species Invasive plant species removal Groundwater quality protection Integrated pest and nutrition management programs Sediment overflow ponds Low impact landscaping Hand harvesting Controlled or low yield varieties Waste product composting Be sure to ask about our practices when you stop by for a winery tour.
