Violet-Green Winery is located on seven acres of redwood forest overlooking Misty Hill Canyon near Humboldt Bay in far northern California. The winery was named to honor the Violet-green swallow's annual spring migration to the winery as a symbol of nature's promise of renewal. The name also evokes images of the vineyard at veraison, when grapes ripen to contrast dramatically against a green leaf canopy.

Violet-Green vinifies in small open-top fermenters managing the cap by hand. Cold soak and malolactic fermentation in barrel impart intensity and richness. The wines are aged on average of approximately 18 months in 100% French oak cooperage from a variety of fine tonnelleries. All the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Winemaker: Lina Carro
