Our Estate Vineyard

The first planting occurred in 1974, when former owner Edward Keith decided to start his own wine business. At the time, he planted several acres of Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon, which are now almost 50 years old. These old vines are low-yield, producing very concentrated and intense fruit. 

After purchase of the property in 2014, the Maxville team began an extensive redevelopment and restoration of both the vineyards and the riparian corridors. Presently over 100 acres of vineyards are planted and primarily include Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petite Sirah, among other varieties. 

As vineyard owners, we are passionate about growing the highest quality grapes for our Maxville Estate wines, and we care deeply about preserving our land and soil for future generations. We practice fish-friendly farming, as certified by the California Land Stewardship Institute.
