ATLAS PEAK

This vineyard is located on the Eastern slopes of Atlas Peak at an elevation of 2100 ft above sea level. Patrick Elliot Smith is the owner and developer of this impressive site, with more than 40 years of experience in vineyard development and management. Patrick is committed to sustainable practices. He purchased the property in 1979 and started clearing the very rocky land himself, while living in a tepee, and he continues to do most of the manual work himself.
