At Compris, we believe that wine is more than just a product—it’s an expression of the land, the season, and the people behind it. Guided by a shared passion for sustainable farming, community, and craftsmanship, our winemaking philosophy is rooted in a respect for nature’s complexity and a commitment to creating wines that invite exploration.
Our approach to winemaking is hands-off, but not without purpose. We embrace the terroir and the unique character of each varietal, allowing nature’s own rhythms to shape the wine. This minimal intervention philosophy means that we allow native yeasts to guide fermentation, rather than adding commercial yeasts to control the process. In our small, close-knit team, every decision is made with intention, and we pride ourselves on learning and growing together with each vintage.
The key to making great wine starts at the vineyard. Our team—led by Dru and Erin Allen, with the expertise of Aaron Kendall, our winemaker and viticulturist—puts the utmost care into stewarding the land. With a focus on sustainable practices, we ensure our vineyard remains a thriving ecosystem for generations to come. We hand-select the right combination of rootstock, varietal, and clone that best suits our land’s unique characteristics, nurturing our vines to produce the highest-quality fruit. Every harvest is an opportunity to connect with the land, with our community, and with the story we are telling through the bottle.
Join us at our estate vineyard, where our wines reflect not only the spirit of our land but also the heart of our team. Every glass is a reminder that wine is meant to be shared—whether you’re new to the world of wine or a longtime enthusiast, we invite you to experience the craft, passion, and community that define Compris.
