Under the leadership of Paul Dolan, former President of Fetzer Vineyards, Parducci are committed to socially responsible and environmentally sound agriculture and winemaking methods while working to enhance the quality, recognition and perception of Mendocino County Wines. This USA winery is the oldest in Mendocino, was certified as organic by CCOF in  and all vineyards are either certified as or in transition to organic and biodynamic status.

150 acres practice Fish Friendly Farming whereby the use of pesticides and other controls which could be damaging to fish, are kept to an absolute minimum. Bob Swain, who has been Parducc's winemaker since 1997, continues at the winery, making the shift from conventional operations to organic farming and sustainable business practices.

Says Paul Dolan "We are clear about what we want; an environmentally and socially conscious winery making great wines from Mendocino. We want to have fun, reaching out to new audiences with each wine carrying a fresh look and message"

Grapes:          100% Sauvignon Blanc (organically grown)

Vineyards:     100% Vecino, Potter Valley

Vinification:   100% stainless steel.  Alcohol 14.1%

Taste:             This marvellously fresh, flavourful Sauvignon Blanc offers enticing, complex aromas of ripe apples, honeydew melon and spicy pear, with citric undertones. On the full, rich palate, it delivers round, concentrated flavours of sweet melon, lime, kiwi and grapefruit, which segue into a long, refreshing, citrus finish.

Serve:            Delightful on its own, this substantial white wine is also a great match for herb-roasted free range chicken, crab cakes, grilled veggies and pork chops with apple chutney.
