Oak Savanna

​

In the development of the Windfall Vineyard it was important to us to reduce the impact on the property's original form. To keep the integrity of the environment, we selected a 40 acre savanna of Oaks and other indigenous trees to remain untouched. This savanna provides a healthy ecosystem to the vineyard and it's surroundings.
