ABOUT LANGTRY ESTATE & VINEYARDS

• Located in Guenoc Valley within Lake County.• Guenoc is an appellation. The only vineyard

that has the unusual distinction of being the vineyard owner and winery in the region.

• Consists of 23,000 acres which straddles both Lake and Napa Counties with 400 acres planted to vine

• 175,000 Cases of Wine produced annually• Top Producer of Sauvignon Blanc, Petite

Sirah, Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon

LAKE COUNTYA RISING APPELLATION

Location: Lake County lies in the northeastern section of the internationally recognized North Coast appellation that also includes Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. Lake County is bordered on west by the Mayacamas Mountains often called the “Axis of Cabernet,” a range that also defines the border between Napa and Sonoma counties to the south.

Elevation : High elevation terroir with vineyards sitting between 700 and 2600 feet.

Soils & Climate: Soils range from rocky volcanic highlands to mountain valleys line with gravelly rivers. The air is dryer, with less consistent humidity. The humidity can be half as much as Napa on any given day which helps eliminate rot. Lake County receives as much as 10% more UV exposure than its neighboring appellations. Which triggers thicker grape skins, greater tannins and intense wines. Cold winters and dry summer conditions.

Overview: With the Mayacamas Mountains to the west and the Vaca Range to the east, Lake County’s vineyards are near one of the oldest Geological lakes in North America. Lake County’s intensity of place- climate, soils and sunlight- produce grapes and wines of compelling quality and character.

Date: In 1981, Guenoc Valley was approved as an AVA and is the 1st single proprietor AVA in the country. Napa follows as #2.
