Here at Porter-Bass we are dedicated to the environment . In the vineyard we have eliminated the use of mineral fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides. For ten years now we have been practicing Organic and Biodynamic practices in the vineyard.  We use limited irrigation all of which is rain water caught in an irrigation pond. We do not use well water to irrigate and as a result we do not have a detrimental affect on the water table. We have dedicated 75% of our property to forest. The hills here are too steep to farm without erosion and soil loss so we take pride in leaving it untouched. This will be a great resource for future generations. Luke Bass
