Haselgrove focuses on small batch production, allowing the blending of small parcels of wine to create high quality wines.  Significantly, the small batch facilities allow the winemakers from Haselgrove to separate their small parcels of fruit until the final blending process, displaying terroir of the vineyard and seasonal variation in the bottle.
