At Kula Vineyards & Winery, their commitment to quality begins in the vineyard, where every grape is hand-harvested with precision and care. This labour-intensive approach allows to select only the finest fruit at peak ripeness, minimizing bruising and preserving the integrity of each cluster—something mechanical harvesting simply can't match. Once the grapes arrive at the winery, the winery's dedication to excellence continues with meticulous hand-sorting. Each berry is carefully inspected to remove any that are under-ripe, overripe, or flawed, ensuring that only the best make it into the small-lot fermentations. This hands-on process highlights the purity of flavor and reflects its distinct character. The result is a portfolio of wines that not only express the essence of the land but also the craftsmanship and passion behind every bottle.
