Soon after the purchase of Aetna Springs, Bryant planted 24 acres of vineyards around the resort. This virgin soil proved to be rich with nutrients and ideal for grape growing. He chose varietals that would thrive in the well-drained rocky soil, such as Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah.
Because of the hot days, drip irrigation is need to keep the vines producing during the summer months. All water for the vineyard is obtained from the natural springs located just beneath the vineyards.
Josh Clark's (our Vineyard Manager) in depth knowledge of the Pope Valley appellation proved to be a huge asset in making our vineyards the best they can be.
To the right is a map of the vineyard with the acreage, varietals and root stocks associated with each block.
