THE GROWER

John's journey into farming began at a young age, working alongside his mother and four siblings hoeing weeds in the cotton fields during the summer. At age 14, he joined his father full-time on the small family farm, a commitment that nurtured his deep-rooted passion for agriculture. After exploring a few different jobs, John quickly realized that farming was his true calling. He returned to the fields, working on another farm for five years, during which he began acquiring his own harvesting equipment.

After thorough research and valuable advice from vineyard owners and winemakers, John planted his first five acres of Cabernet Sauvignon in 2014. Today, his vineyard flourishes with 33 acres of nine different grape varieties, producing grapes that contribute to many award-winning wines.
