The site is vital.

Some rare sites buzz with a palpable energy that leaves no doubt as to its vinous potential.

Only 28 of FUTO’s 198 total acres are cultivated.

The majority of the land remains in its natural state of forest or rocky ridge, where the incumbent ecosystem provides viticultural benefits only unspoiled nature can render.

FUTO dwells on two properties.

One is tucked into the western foothills in Oakville, the other lies across the valley on the rocky slopes of Stags Leap District.

Both sites comprise a range of exposures, inclines, geology, and microclimates that require rigorous hillside viticulture but reward with grapes of remarkable complexity, depth, and purity.

One need only set foot on FUTO’s vineyards to sense their pedigree.
