The Boots|02
From the mountain
Moctoe started with the crew. We farm Elephant Mountain Vineyard by hand, and this wine is how that work reaches the table.
For twenty years I’ve grown wine for other people’s labels. Moctoe is the first time the people who farm the vines get their own voice: one wine, from the vineyard where I started, made the way we’d make it if it were ours. Now it is.

The first vintage
One wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, made at the highest level we can. The 2024 is our first vintage, and a small one.

The crew
Ten percent of every bottle goes to the people who farm it.
That is the Boot Program. The Brothers In Farms crew prunes, thins and picks every vine by hand, and they share in every bottle that leaves the mountain.
