BUNTING WINE TASTING ROOM

The four varieties of vines planted are of the French ENTAV clones, making them a step above any of the California clones. The continental climate of warm days and cool Sierra nights at this elevation allows us to grow some wonderful varietals: Mourvedre, Grenache, Marsanne, and Rousanne. Critical selection of clone type and root stock was given to create healthy quality and production based upon the terroir.

Terroir is a French term used to denote the special characteristics that geography bestows upon particular grape varieties. Agricultural sites in the same region share similar soil, weather, and farming conditions, which all contribute to the uniquequalities of the crop. It can be very loosely translated as "a sense of place," which is embodied in certain characteristic qualities the sum of the effects the local environment has had on the manufacture of the product.
