Vogelzang Vineyard

Vogelzang Vineyard is planted in the newly acquired appellation of Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara.  This unique area has proven to show site specificity for Bordeaux varietals. Because of its location in the most south-eastern corner of the Santa Ynez valley, the morning fog burns off earlier than the rest of the valley, providing the much-desired longer day of heat. The late afternoon "set your clock at 4 PM" marine winds quickly promise to ease the extended heat. In addition to the advantage of these weather patterns, the gravely loam soil is strewn with  rock and rubble contributing to the low vigor and proper drainage.

Finally, the viticultural practices, monitored by the team of Coast Vineyard Care and other mature consultants, guarantee that the most advanced technical practices such as high density, tight pruning, parallel shoot positioning and compost teas, plus good old fashioned common sense, guide the vine and the ground. Planted in 1998, time, experience and additional knowledge of the area is proving that Vogelzang Vineyard consistently produces the quality expected of its Sauvignon Blancs, Cabernets and Bordeaux blenders.
