Ferrington Vineyard, Anderson Valley
Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer
The Ferrington Vineyard, one of California’s most acclaimed Pinot Noir Vineyards, sells to eight wineries and is tucked away just off Highway 128 in Booneville, a small town in the heart of the Anderson Valley. Twenty five acres are planted to multiple clones of Pinot Noir. We have selected blocks that include the Swiss Clone 2A, also known as Wadenswil, as well as Dijon Clones 667 and 777. The vineyard has a gentle south-facing slope, and has decomposed sandstone and clay soils with three to four feet of topsoil. This vineyard was originally planted in the late 1960s although some of the 25 acres of Pinot Noir vines were planted in 1998 and some even more recently.
The Ferrington Vineyard also serves as the source of our highly acclaimed dry Gewurztraminer. We source from two blocks in the vineyard which are planted to separate clones of Gewurztraminer. The combination of clones allows us to produce an intensely aromatic wine that is layered with fruit and spice, all classic characteristics of one of the world’s most interesting grapes.
