In this age of the digital race for attention, Midland is a quiet exercise of focus and quality of technique. Our hope is that in the pursuit of good work, there’s an audience to sustain a venture such as ours. This is not a five year plan. These are the first years of a family business designed to follow generations into the future.
Therefore, our approach to winegrowing is progressive yet precise, and we hope to walk the line between skillful and unexpected. Our wines will evolve over time as we learn more, as the world changes, and as we change.
These offerings represent the work of our hands, and of past hands, building for longevity, so that future hands may continue and improve upon this work.
