Over time, the family estate expanded, and today it is led by the second generation – Sarah Hedges and Christophe Hedges – who have added a modern touch to their parents’ legacy without losing sight of their core mission: to craft wines that authentically reflect the Red Mountain terroir.
The Hedges family firmly believes that great wine is born when nature is left undisturbed and vineyards are nurtured through sustainable methods. The winery has eliminated synthetic chemicals, achieved biodynamic certification, and champions traditional winemaking practices. Their philosophy is grounded in the belief that true quality lies in harmony between soil, vine, and human touch.
