At Rominger West, we are striving to build a sustainable business, integrating the production of artisan wines with our responsibility to the community, care for the environment, and support for the economic viability of rural Yolo County. We are pursuing these goals through the use of sustainable farming practices, an emphasis on local conservation, reuse of resources, and a long term focus on the impacts of our actions. Sustainable farming increases the biodiversity in our vineyard soils, improves the health of the vines and produces more flavorful grapes. A small lot, artisan approach to winemaking allows us to capture these characteristics in wines that are a clear expression of their site. Please join us in helping to build a sustainable future for our community.
The grapes used to make Rominger West wines are all grown in Yolo County in vineyards farmed by Bruce and Rick Rominger. Our vineyards are all located in the western part of the county, north of the town of Winters, in the lower hills of the Coast Range. The long growing season in this region is characterized by warm to hot day time temperatures, and very cool night time temperatures. This environment allows us to develop fully ripe flavors in all of our varieties. Careful farming, and a close collaboration with the winery, maintains the acid balance in the grapes and maximizes wine quality.
The Arnold vineyard was originally planted in 1998 as a certified nursery expansion block, to propagate new vines. The planting material was imported from France and represents some of the best material certified by L'Etablissement National Technique pour l'Amélioration de la Viticulture (ENTAV), the French government funded program established in 1962 to characterize and improve the vineyards of France. The Arnold vineyard, located about 7 miles north of Winters, is planted on deep, nutrient-rich soils and has 29 clones of 14 different varieties, on a total of 16 acres. We harvest Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Grenache Blanc, Grenache Noir, Mourvedre, Syrah, Petit Verdot and Malbec from this vineyard.
