Producer Information

J. Rochioli Vineyards and Winery is a Californian estate based in Fenton Acres in the Russian River Valley AVA (American Viticultural Area). The 140 acre (57 hectare) estate produces terroir-driven wines with a minimal intervention approach – mostly from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Rochioli family first moved to Fenton Acres in the early 1930s. A small portion of the family’s farmland was set aside for viniculture and in 1959 the vineyards were planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. Today, these Sauvignon Blanc vines are thought to be amongst some of the oldest in California. The wine portfolio is divided between the Estate range and the Single Vineyard with varietal Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc produced in each. In the winery, each plot is fermented seperate throughout the entire winemkaing process. The vineyards were planted to Pinot Noir 1968, shortly followed by Chardonnay. The Pinot Noir grapes were initially sold to wineries including Davis Bynum Winery and Williams Selyem Winery. The estate also produced wines under its own Fenton Acres label in the early 1970s. In 1983 the Fenton Acres property was renamed to Rochioli Vineyards and the estate consequently released its first Rochioli Pinot Noir vintage in 1987.
