Planted between 1975-82, the Renaissance vineyard is located in the Sierra Nevada foothills at altitudes of 1700-2350 feet (Yuba County). This is a real mountain vineyard: the vines are planted on slopes with gradations that vary from gentle to breathtaking; the complex topography offers all possible sun exposures and a myriad of micro-climates. The basic quality and character of our Estate Bottled wines distinctly express this terroi.

Our approach is "minimalist": No unnecessary processes or treatments. No commercial yeast inoculations. Levels of sulfur dioxide are kept to a minimum by extending the "sur lie" period, during which the wine is protected by its lees. We do not fine or "cold-stabilize" any of our wines, or filter any reds
enaissance wines are highly distinctive expressions of their micro-climate, soil, and varietal components. Our organic viticulture and hands-off style of wine making are aimed at preserving their authenticity.

We now focus on two "families" of grapes: the Bordeaux and the Rhone and the following wines:
* Cabernet Sauvignon
* Roussanne
* Viognier
* Syrah
* Granite Crown (a field blend of Syrah, Cabernet, and occasionally Merlot)
* Claret Prestige (a red Bordeaux-style blend)
"Vin de Terroir" Series: very limited bottlings produced in the best vintages.
These will occasionally be supplemented with Late Harvest and experimental wines.
