Pinot Grigio clone selection 152 has noble roots that can be traced back to the Alsace region, thanks to Army General Lazarus de Schwendi who picked up a few vine cuttings on his way home to France in the 16th Century.
Each vine type performs best when it is planted in the kind of soil and climate in which it was born. The clay-rich soil of our Clay Station Vineyard is punctuated with sand and rock which provides a mix similar to the ancestral home of clone selection 181 in Bordeaux, France.
Named after vineyard Block 242, located at the northernmost point of our San Bernabe Vineyard, these vines enjoy the cool, coastal climate of the Monterey Coast.
515 celebrates the enchanted time of 5:15pm, so named by our winemakers for the time they occasionally pause from their work to enjoy a taste of this bright, delightful wine.
One of the prestigious "Dijon Clones", vine selection 667 was brought to California from Burgundy, France because this vine stock generates deep color and several layers of tannins.
