Story by Area



What is special about the grapes in every bottle of Renteria wines is the source, the terroir. The vineyards are in prized appellations such as St. Helena, Stag’s Leap, Carneros, Mount Veeder, the Russian River and the unique Wooden Valley region. All Renteria vineyards are small, hand tended vineyards, many planted by Salvador and tenderly handed down to Oscar.

The Q Hill vineyard is a perfect example of the quality and lineage of Renteria grapes; planted and dry farmed by Salvador in 1973, this small, steep vineyard produces only one half ton of intense fruit per acre. The flavor, true to its environment, has big, bright, concentrated fruit with gently muscular tannins. The Renterias have cared for Q Hill for over 27 years, from initial vineyard development to coaxing the outstanding fruit remaining from this old and unfailing vineyard.

The Knittel Vineyard is located in a prime site for our Pinot Noir, south of Highway 12 on Los Carneros Road on the Napa side of Carneros.  An experimental vineyard, it was planted by Renteria Vineyard Management in 1997.
