Growing Conditions
100% estate-grown Petit Verdot
Planted in 2007, our Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc vines are thriving on our 7 acre-vineyard. We experience wet, cold winters and hot, dry summers, common to a Mediterranean climate. The coastal influence brings cool nights, with diurnal temperature swings as much as 50 degrees per day, which allows our grapes to maintain high acidity. Ayar and Diablo soils dominate the property, which are derived from calcareous materials of shale and sandstone and possess water holding capacities over 8 inches.
