1 Ambyth Estate Phillip Hart AmByth has three magical chords that run through their very core and shape their every thought, direction, decision and action: they are 100% dryfarmed, they are a certified Biodynamic farm, and they are natural winemakers. AmByth is a Welsh word that means forever. They view it as their legacy: to live and farm to their heart s content in Templeton for the remainder of their lives...but also to farm with the future in mind, and the healthy condition of the land being left behind. AmByth Estate is Paso Robles first and only winery to produce Demeter certified Biodynamic wines. They utilize the Biodynamic method of farming to enhance their observations of nature, and use these intimate insights as tools that allow their 20 acres of vineyards to express their true character through the grapes they produce. They want their grapes to be as unique to AmByth Estate as your thumbprint is to you. Ambyth are Natural Winemakers: they let the grapes express themselves into wine without the aid of additives, adjustments or enhancements. The wines are made with native yeasts, they are foot stomped, and they are aged and bottled without any added sulfites. Some are aged in barrel or stainless steel tanks, others are beautifully aged in Terra Cota Amphoras. They are Pure. They are Alive. They are Fresh. Ambyth s Estate vineyards comprise more than 20 planted acres to grapevines and olive trees.
