Alder Springs Vineyard

Located over three hours north of San Francisco, Alder Springs relies on elevations as high as 2700 feet for a cooling effect in Mendocino County. The vines are planted on steep hillsides of decomposing sandstone with a combination of Scott Henry and Smart Dyson trellising with vine density as much as 3300 vines per acre. Alder Springs is planted primarily to Dijon clones 76, 96 and 95. Excellence in viticultural practices, and the passion of owner Stu Bewley combine to create this premium fruit.

White Hawk Vineyard

White Hawk Vineyard sits on the southern facing slope of Cat Canyon some 21 miles from the Pacific ocean and 2 miles north of Los Alamos in Santa Barbara County. The marine influence causes cool, early morning fogs to envelop the site before giving way to bright, intense, sun. The vineyard is planted at an elevation of 900 feet on pure sands that provide excellent and immediate drainage, forcing the vines to work extra hard to survive. The syrah has a strong core of acidity complemented by elements of meat and blackberries. White Hawk is custom-farmed using sustainable and primarily organic viticulture methods. The yields are miniscule and the berries, intense.
