Carhartt Vineyard
:Name of Vineyard
The ten-acre Carhartt Vineyard sits high on a mesa with maximum sun exposure and a soil structure that lends itself to the production of outstanding fruit. Planted in 1996, the vineyard is situated in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley appellation (AVA), blessed with a climate that is particularly suited to Rhône and Bordeaux varietals. The cool mornings quickly move into hot, sunny days that remain warm until sundown. The growing season is long, often stretching into late November, which allows the grapes to fully ripen and achieve their optimal balance of sugars, acids and spicy flavors. We have recently replanted 1.5 acres of our Estate Vineyard to Savignon Blanc clone 1 on 1103p rootstock, and have also planted 1.3 acres of Grenache to Alban clone on 101-14 rootstock.
The latest addition to our Estate Vineyard is the famed “Eleven Oaks Vineyard”. This vineyard is planted in two clones of Sangiovese on about 2.5 acres located a few hundred yards from our main Rancho Santa Ynez vineyard. We’ve been busy rejuvenating and replanting the Sangiovese in clone Fontodi (on its own root) and clone Isole y Olena (on its own root). We are really excited to be able to bring our own growing techniques into the production of our future Sangiovese wines.
Carhartt vineyard is sustainably farmed and managed with the utmost care and consideration for the environment.
