Murray talks about a well-known visitor to the winery, “ Had a visit from Bono a while ago. A mutual friend had told McHenry that the U2 frontman loved wine, and wondered if he could bring him down to the winery. “Bono arrived and said, ‘Don’t fuck around, just give me your best wine,’” recalls McHenry. “So we opened a bottle of Rolling Stone, and he said, ‘I need a few cases: this is Mick Jagger’s Christmas present.’ I gave him six bottles.”
Murray also goes onto describes the goal to be sustainable
“From the beginning, the ethos has been sustainability: 100% biodynamic vineyard management and minimal intervention in the winery. Cover crops are comprehensive, pest control is by natural predator as much as possible.”
