Archery Summit focuses exclusively on estate vineyards, which gives us full control over how the land is farmed. We're constantly searching for the best combination of plant, soil and cultivation techniques at each vineyard. Our clones are site-selected and we plant densely, coaxing vertically trellised vines to produce fewer clusters that bear small, intensely flavorful grapes. After fruit set, we will again sacrifice quantity for improved fruit quality by further reducing yields. During the growing season, hand-management of the canopy is key; it's the only way to ensure every cluster receives optimal exposure to air and sunlight. In most vineyards, fruit is grown at chest height for ease of harvest, yet we train ours to grow closer to the warm soil,another practice that leads to more flavorful fruit. This kind of farming requires a tremendous commitment, one we make without hesitation.
