The Donum Estate comprises three vineyards uniquely suited to Pinot Noir and all farmed by Anne Moller-Racke to the same high standards. Planted by Anne in 1989, the Donum Ranch includes 70 acres of vines divided into 15 blocks and sub-blocks. A variety of Pinot Noir clones and selections grows here, including “heirlooms” like Calera, Chalone, Hanzell, Martini, Roederer and Swan, and Dijon clones such as 115, 667 and 777.
Ferguson Block is a 20-acre vineyard consisting primarily of an old Martini selection planted in 1974 on St. George rootstock. We farm three sub-blocks on this parcel located less than a mile from our home ranch on the Sonoma side of Carneros.
Nugent Vineyards rests on relatively level ground in the heart of the Russian River Valley. Planted by Anne in 1997, its 11 acres of vines are equally divided between Dijon clones 115 and 667.
Our vineyards are living, complex, ever-evolving systems – works in progress. Our experience with them ranges from ten to well over twenty years, yet we continue to learn as we coax more quality and fruit expression from each block, row and vine. |
