|   | The Faure family purchased the original farm in 1917 from an Austrian researcher who grew mainly wheat, together with some vines. Four adjoining farms were purchased over time and planted to vineyards, now collectively known as Faure Wine Farms. In the early days, a small winery was in operation. This was closed when the farm started marketing its entire crop through wine co-operatives. With improved management and expertise, Faure Wine Farms began producing superior quality grapes. Since 2000 the grapes have been marketed directly to wine makers looking for the unique characteristics of the crop.
