Anderson Valley, located less than 100 miles
north of San Francisco, is an area blessed with a temperate
cool coastal climate. Classified in viticultural terms as a
Region 1 growing area, this designates it as the coolest
climate in which grapes may be commercially grown with any
success. The combination of warm sunny days and cool foggy
nights and mornings allow the grapes from this region to
mature slowly and to develop to the height of their varietal
character.
The planted acreage in the Anderson Valley consists
primarily of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and
White Riesling. There are also small acreages of other
varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, Cabernet
Sauvignon and Zinfandel.
