Vine Cliff Winery
Napa Valley
Nestled in a quiet canyon above Silverado Trail in the world famous Napa Valley stand the breathtaking vineyards of Vine Cliff Winery. Known for rich, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignons from the treasured Oakville appeliation and bold Chardonnays from the acclaimed Carneros district, Vine Cliff Winery prides itself on small lots of intensely flavoured, hand-made wines.
Since 1990, all of Vine Cliff’s vineyards have been managed according to the principles and practices of sustainable viticulture, with a renewed emphasis on natural farming. This has meant that no commercial pesticides, herbicides or artificial fertilizers have been used, when possible, on the vines for more than a decade. Additionally, 10 tons of organic materials are returned to the soil as compost annually. The vineyards have native species of grasses planted as ground cover between the rows of vines. These are never ploughed under but only cut, then allowed to naturally compost and further enrich the soil. Over the years, an ecologically complex and diverse bio-system has been established at Vine Cliff estate vineyards, resulting in the protection of the wildlife and their habitat.
