Growing Conditions
Noted as a California “grand cru”, Hyde Vineyard is located at the gateway to the beautiful Napa Valley in the region of Carneros. A cool vintage in 2011 allowed the elegant aromatics and lively natural acidity to prevail. Summer temperatures are cool due to its proximity to San Pablo Bay, with foggy mornings and cool afternoon breezes.Under the soils, ancient creek beds provide excellent drainage to the red clay loam. Hyde vineyard is sustainability and organically farmed with respect for the environment, meaning the riperian growth of native trees along the creek provides a habitat for different birds, such as owls, kites and hawks and cover crops help with beneficial insect management, soil structure and vine nutrition.
