Alta Loma Vineyard is a spectacular growing site in Terry County, owned and farmed by the Burran and Floyd families. Established in 2016 with fewer than 10 acres of Syrah and Sangiovese, they have since planted two more varieties that have proven sustainability in the region, including Mourvèdre. Their sandy loam soil is well-drained, suited to the hardy varieties they've selected to plant. 

Elevation: 3,200 ft. Soil: Amarillo fine sandy loam. Age of vines: 5 years.
