Unique to the vineyard is a predominant amount of broken granite and schist which provide for excellent soil drainage and trace mineral extraction. This gives grape fruit that certain sense of terroir or "place". Moderate elevation levels of 1200 feet and colder facing aspects allow for temperature variation during the growing season which slowly builds acidity and complexity. Most importantly, the vineyard possesses an indescribable sense of totality and energy that only comes from a complete union of spirituality, energy and historic legacy. • Wine Tasting • Wine Tour • Wine Shop • Wine Club _________________________________ WESTBEND VINEYARDS 5394 Williams Road Lewisville, NC 27023 Phone: (336) 945-5032 • Toll Free: (866) 901-5032 Who We Are: Westbend Vineyards is located in Lewisville, North Carolina.
