The Ghianda Rose Vineyard lies in the cool northern reaches of Mendocino County, where coastal fog and river breezes create the ideal conditions for vibrant, aromatic fruit. Farmed with biodynamic principles, the vineyard is surrounded by redwood forests and nurtured through regenerative practices that emphasize soil health and balance. Its sandy-gravel loam soils, rich with alluvial deposits, lend purity and minerality to the wines while allowing the vines to thrive with minimal intervention. Fruit from Ghianda Rose expresses beautiful clarity and texture — notes of white peach, citrus blossom, and wet stone layered with a bright, lively acidity. This Mendocino site brings an elegant contrast to our Dry Creek Valley estate fruit, adding depth and regional character to CAST’s portfolio.
