NAPA VALLEY | SPRING MOUNTAIN DISTRICT

At 1,700 feet elevation with hillside slopes upwards of 25% grade, La Perla Vineyard is the definition of a mountain vineyard and truly treacherous terrain to grow Pinot Noir. In far northwest of Napa Valley, the cold air from the Pacific Ocean creeps over the Mayacamas Mountains, draping itself over Spring Mountain, creating the perfect framework of cold nights and a long growing season for Pinot Noir. 

La Perla Vineyard is riddled with shallow volcanic soils with intermittent patches of sedimentary and calcareous rock. Meter by meter plantings of this site with over 4,000 vines/acre results in smaller vines with smaller, more concentrated and powerful Pinot Noir clusters and berries. Coupled with the fact this vineyard is organically farmed, this rocky, hillside block is ideal for our single vineyard brick & mortar Pinot Noir.
