grape growing vineyards in our appellation are used to specifically identify where the grapes for a wine were grown.
in the usa they include a balance of nutrients and clays that provide a low saturation exchange capacity. the low exchange capacity in clay works well affording minimum water retention and a very slow nutrient transfer to the grape vine plants.
the wine regions grapes grown in this area enjoy both the wilson grove formation and extrusive lavas ash of the somoma volcanics.
when it's all combined, this terroir provides some of the highest quality grapes grown anywhere in the world.
knowlton farms and casacompostela are a two hour drive away from the allures of the san francisco bay area.
we welcome you to this wonderful, passionate and opinionated grape growing region.
