Our history
Our family farm
Four generations farming the same hillside in Al Shafa.
We've spent our lives on these terraces
Our story
It began when our great-grandfather bought a small terraced plot above Taif with a few rows of vines and pomegranate trees. Today the farm covers more than 30 hectares, and the family still tends every row.
Grown slowly, picked by hand
We combine old terrace farming with careful water use and no synthetic sprays, so our grapes taste of the mountain air and the long, cool nights.
