One of the most unique things about farming is being acutely intertwined with the seasons while simultaneously being only vaguely aware of what day it is. In a way, the vineyard’s lack of attention to hour of the day or day of the week is contagious. There’s something about seasonality and the time sensitivity of our work that seems to skew our perception of time all together…

2023 already promises to be an exciting year for Tira Nanza with the release of our first red (2021 Cabernet Sauvignon) and the launch of our wine club. Even so, the first week of the year has brought more action than we ever could have imagined…

Since we last spoke, we have begun sales of our first vintage, planted 5 acres of Syrah on our virgin hillside, started hosting tours and tastings at the ranch, continued to react to the many challenges of our changing climate, but most importantly… we got married!

First Release & Vineyard Updates

This coming year brings a tremendous amount of excitement for us here at Tira Nanza, from our wedding to our first wine release and planting almost 12 acres of new vineyards…

Pruning, Puppies & Plants in Bloom

New years and new growing seasons always start with hope. We hope for growth, we hope for joy and often we hope for something better than what preceded. We enter these times with goals, aspirations and visions of what we want to achieve. In this way, beginnings are some of the most exciting times of our lives.

Most years October is the pinnacle of harvest craziness. The last of the fruit is coming into the winery, some fermentations are finishing while others are just starting, and workdays are long and busy but full of excitement. True to 2020 fashion, this October has been unlike any in recent memory.
