\"Starting with a clean slate allowed us to take advantage of a wealth of knowledge accumulated in the Napa Valley over 25 years of viticulture. Terrace design, soil preparation, density of planting, trellis systems and selection of appropriate rootstock and clones were just some of the aspects of vineyard innovation we applied in each specific soil type and microclimate./nThe most important lesson in diversity learned at Quintessa is the need to keep the soil alive with a variety of plant life. Pests are managed through the use of organic materials, cover crops and other innovative practices, and only when required. From it\'s very inception, the vineyard has been maintained with a strict criteria of care for the soil and the environment. It is a very special feeling to know that at Quintessa, there was never any other kind of grape growing.\"/nValeria Huneeus Vineyard Master/Proprietor
