We had an awesome visit last week to Robert Hall Winery, checking in on the trials run by our friend Jordan Lonborg of Coastal Vineyard Care Associates (including an AEA nutritional protocol).
Robert Hall has been conducting multi-year side-by-side trials since 2020 comparing regenerative and conventional wine growing all the way to the bottle. Jordan turned the trial up a notch since taking over management of the vineyard in 2025 by focusing on diverse cover cropping, feeding biology via drip irrigation, and a foliar fertility program.
Robert Hall is set up with state-of-the-art monitoring technology, and is able measure soil temperatures, soil respiration, rhizosphere activity, and much more.
Jordan's work has already produced phenomenal results on the regen block, including:
🍃Thicker and more dense leaves
🍇 Less shatter
📈 Potential for improved yields
We'll share data from this trial as it becomes available.
