Due to our world-class viticultural
location and unusually spacious acreage with highly diverse terroir,
Windsor Oaks represents a rarity in wine country. It is a wine lover's
dream, where both viticultural and winemaking experts worked together
over many years, sparing no expense to create vineyards producing the
best quality fruit.
Years of careful work analyzing over 700
acres, pinpointed 250 acres where specific types of wine grapes best
fit with some of the finest micro-climates and soils for growing
ultra-premium grapes in Sonoma County. Each type of grape, and the
specific rootstocks and clones within them, were selected for over 50
distinct vineyard blocks nestled throughout the steep hills, high
terraces and low valleys.
Beyond the well-located vineyard blocks,
significant areas are dedicated as 'Forever Wild' untouched open
space, featuring a rich collection of at least seven types of native
oak trees, meadows filled with wildflowers, canyons and a multitude of
wildlife.
The mix of carefully planted vineyards
combined with the significant 'Forever Wild' acres of beautiful
ancient oak trees and wilderness create an inspirational environment.
The vineyards and the wine grapes they produce beenfit from both
exceptional terroir and a small close-knit group of people that have
worked together for one or two decades each to nurture the vineyards
and learn best ways to help the many small blocks of vines produce the
optimal fruit.
The result is a long-standing tradition
of growing twelve types of ultra-premium wine grapes for a number of
top-tier wineries that produce highly awarded wines.
Acreage and any potential availability
of wine grapes differ by type. Please see our varietals
