You may have heard Bob Tillman on the podcast recently. A few weeks ago we were lucky enough to visit Bob at Alta Colina Vineyard.

➡️ Bob transitioned Alta Colina to full organic in 2012
➡️ He's been working with AEA for 3 years and has seen the power of a regenerative system.
➡️ There's always room for improvement: we will continue working towards balanced vineyard nutrition!

Last year, Alta Colina had an amazing crop. We heard of growers in the Paso Robles region having 30% lower yields than normal. Not Alta Colina!

Bob dug a trench to show us the challenges of the shallow soil he's working on and evaluate the compaction.
➡️ The root mass in the soil was incredible: every crevice was filled with roots.

Thanks to Bob and the Alta Colina team for hosting us!
