'The àMaurice estate vineyard lies at an elevation of 1475 ft. on a gentle southwest-facing slope in the valley of Mill Creek. The vines are planted in the Walla Walla silt loam, a deep, well-drained soil derived from sediments deposited by the Missoula floods between 15 and 12 thousand years ago. We are dedicated to raising quality fruit through environmentally sound farming practices. Maintaining the soil and plant organisms provides nutrients necessary to grow healthy vines and grapes.'
