Halter Ranch Côtes de Paso 2020

Nestled in California's Paso Robles along the Santa Lucia Mountain Range, Halter Ranch is a 2,700-acre organic estate crafting terroir-driven wines. Founded by conservationist Hansjörg Wyss, it pays homage to Alice Halter and supports diverse ecosystems. The 200-acre certified organic vineyard, initiated in 1996, features 20 grape varieties on south-facing slopes. All 200 acres received organic certification in July 2023. The estate prioritizes environmental responsibility, using only a fraction of its acreage for farming to maintain biodiversity. Halter Ranch employs organic farming methods, avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, fostering sustainability across vineyards, walnut, and olive orchards. The winery, equipped with a gravity flow system, ensures gentle fruit handling, energy efficiency, and optimal wine storage conditions.
