The Corpuel Family Vineyard is our coldest site, located in the Sebastopol Hills Area at the crossroads of three appellations: Russian River, Sonoma Coast and Petaluma Gap, 10 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The vines are stressed by high winds, ample fog, cold temperatures and vertical terrain. This results in high quality fruit along with low quantity yields. The vineyard is an extremely steep (over 40% in some places) northwest facing hillside vineyard with a 200-foot rise in elevation in a relatively short distance.
The vineyard soil is the famed Goldridge Sandy Loam that many think of as the premier soil for growing Pinot Noir. 7.6 acres are planted with three heritage clones of Pinot Noir: Pommard, Vosne-Romanée, and Swan.
Our first wine from Corpuel Vineyard is the 2021 vintage.
