Wolff Vineyard
The Vineyard site was first planted 30 years ago by one of the Edna Valley's winegrowing pioneers. The new owners, Jean-Pierre and Elke Wolff, renamed the vineyard in 1999 when they expanded the vineyard. They maintain a commitment to sustainable vineyard management and employ bio-dynamic practices. Wolff Vineyards is one of the first vineyards in the Central Coast to become “Certified Sustainably Grown” as part of a pilot project with the Central Coast Vineyard Team.
Soil and climate
The vines are situated on steep slopes not common to the Edna Valley. Here the fruit benefits from southern exposure as well as from the shallow, well-drained sandy loam. The Pinot Noir blocks are planted on 115,667,777 and Pommard of which Summerland contracts all four of these proven Dijon clones. The unusual cool climate Petite Sirah, was the first planted in the Edna Valley and has quickly gained national recognition. |
