Snowden Vineyards is dedicated to the creation of classically styled, terroir-driven wines reflecting the unique heritage and character of their site. The Snowden family came to the property in 1955 – originally a 160 acre homestead. The family has always been determined to preserve and protect the natural environment of the ranch. To maintain a balanced and healthy ecosystem within the vineyards, they utilize organic farming practices and, in the cellar, make their wines with as little intervention as possible to ensure they honestly reflect terroir, vintage and variety. Winemaker Diana Snowden Seysses (also winemaker at Burgundy's iconic Domaine Dujac), from the family’s third generation as winegrowers, uses her new and old world winemaking experience to produce elegant, balanced, wines showcasing the nuances of the site.
