Our winemaking principles are based on the philosophies of being a true "Artisan" winery, in particular:
- Attention and dedication to detail
- Focus on quality
- Honest craftsmanship
To these ends we strive to source the best winegrapes possible, going to great lengths in our vineyard to ensure our viticultural practices deliver on the promise of our terroir while maintaining varietal nuances. We do not endeavor to create homogenous vintages, but rather allow the subtleties of each growing season to be captured in the bottle. You may ask: "Why does this year's Viognier bouquet have intense notes of pink grapefruit while the previous vintage presented passionfruit?" Our answer: "Because that is what nature intended."
"Music" Series
In keeping with our brand identity of marrying wine and music, our flagship wines are named after musical terms to represent the emotions they inspire.

"Dream" Series
The past few years have been a whirlwind of dreams, risks, heartbreaks, hard work, and successes leading up to the launching of Notaviva Vineyards in winter 2008. To commemorate those experiences and hopefully inspire others to pursue their dreams, we are offering a series of wines dedicated to the dreamers of the world. Dream big, build well, always believe in yourself and you too can make the impossible possible.
