Hendy Knoll Pinot Noir

Our Hendy Knoll Pinot Noir is one of the first releases from our newest vineyard acquisition, the renowned Savoy Vineyard in Anderson Valley. The base of this wine comes from a block of Wadenswil 2A, planted in 1992 on a knoll overlooking the towering redwoods of Hendy Woods State Park. While many producers have crafted wines that highlight the site’s expressive terroir, we choose to take a different approach—showcasing the depth and complexity that whole-cluster fermentation can bring. The result is a vibrant, layered Pinot Noir that offers a fresh perspective of this historic vineyard.

Savoy Vineyard

In 2023, Donum acquired the iconic 52-acre Savoy Vineyard, a historic site planted in 1991 by Richard Savoy in the heart of Anderson Valley near the confluence of Gowan Creek and the Navarro River. Known for its cool climate, high winds and exceptional soil, Savoy is home to over 40 acres of established Pinot Noir and a small block of Chardonnay, with vines dating back to the mid-1990s. This acquisition marked Donum’s first established vineyard purchase and a significant milestone in expanding its estate portfolio. With the 2023 vintage, Donum introduced its first Savoy wines.
