Fetzer Vineyards Weine

Sustainability and organic is trendy - at Fetzer Vineyards even before it got cool. 

Fetzer Vineyards Wines

The self-proclaimed earth friendly winery from Hopland in California presses wine according to the motto: what is good for the earth is good for the grape. And because of Fetzer's well-balanced and taste-intensive wines, why turn back? 

Fetzer Vineyards wines from Mendocino County

Since 1968, when founder Barney Fetzer transformed a piece of farmland into a thriving vineyard, the Fetzer Vineyards has been considered a pioneer in sustainable viticulture. But not only that; Fetzer is also considered the first winery in California to grow white grape varieties such as Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer and Riesling. The Sundial Chardonnay is the godfather of the visionary approach and has been winning over tastes since 1981. The 1000 Stories Zinfandel, a crimson red wine for festive occasions aged in barrels used for Bourbon, has no less to tell. Fetzer Vineyards attaches great importance to nature and therefore the individual sites with their unmistakable characteristics. To this end, the winery maintains plots in the most sought-after wine regions throughout California, yet still maintains its deep roots in the Mendocino Valley. Whether at Eagle Peek or Valley Oaks, the natural vineyards are the origin of Fetzer's award-winning top wines.
