Where Airfield's range leans into reserve-tier blocks and the family's WWII aviation story — their farm once hosted a flight school that trained over 500 Army Air Corps pilots during the war — Lone Birch draws on a small, selected fraction of the family's estate vineyard to make limited-production, good-value wines without cutting corners on quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Miller family has farmed this corner of the Yakima Valley since H. Lloyd Miller settled here in 1907, through his son Donald's pioneering 1968 vine plantings to grandson Mike Miller's founding of Airfield Estates Winery in 2005. Lone Birch shares the same commitment to sustainable, largely vegan winemaking and water-conscious land stewardship that defines the whole Miller family portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Airfield Estates Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57915183366531,"sku":"AIR21024","price":19.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/LoneBirchChardonnay.png?v=1777382656","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/lone-birch-chardonnay-2024","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
