The Vineyards of Monterey

El Camino Real Vineyard

El Camino Real Vineyard is located within the prestigious Arroyo Seco appellation of Monterey. In Spanish, “arroyo seco” means “dry riverbed.” The vines are literally planted in well-drained sandy loam with fist-sized cobblestones. The vineyard’s name refers to the “The Royal Road” that connected the 21 missions in California. The region’s cool climate with morning fog and afternoon breezes allows the full development of ripe fruit flavors and the preservation of balanced acidity.

Sarmento Vineyard

Sarmento Vineyard is located within the prestigious Santa Lucia Highlands appellation of Monterey. It is named for one of the original Spanish land grant families who owned the property for generations. The maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean creates morning fog and afternoon winds, making an ideal climate for the production of world-class Burgundian varietals. The vines are planted high on the southeast-facing terraces of the Santa Lucia Mountains and overlook the Salinas River Valley.

Doctors Vineyard

Doctors Vineyard is located in the middle stretch of the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Starting at 300 feet of elevation, the vineyard promptly climbs another 400 feet into the highlands, providing the vineyard with warmer temperatures and higher winds. Planted with wide row spacing on East facing benches offers great sun exposure, allowing the fog to burn off early in the day. Grapes are picked along the sloping upper bench where the union of climate, sandy loam soils and Pommard clone produces small crops that translate to complex wines.
