Stony Hill Vineyard’s Rich Terroir and Uncompromising Winemaking Philosophy
Stony Hill Vineyard, established in 1952, occupies the eastern slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain District AVA. With an elevation ranging from 800 to 1,550 feet, the vineyard benefits from optimal grape-growing conditions. The vines thrive in volcanic mountain soils, while the underlying limestone rock imparts a distinctive sense of place. Stony Hill’s highly sought-after wines reflect a nuanced and delicate terroir-driven style, featuring flagship varietals such as Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as Syrah and Alsatian varietals.
Stony Hill Winemaker Reid Griggs shared his winemaking philosophy, stating, “Through a deep understanding of the soil and the vineyard, coupled with low intervention winemaking, we aim to craft wines from this site that will express the very best of Spring Mountain. Producing a Cabernet Sauvignon of the highest pedigree with freshness will become an increasing focus in our marginal environment, which we believe sets the stage for great wines.”
The Residence at Stony Hill offers a captivating blend of history, luxury, and exceptional wine. With its reimagined design and dedication to preserving the legacy of the estate, this Napa Valley gem provides visitors with an extraordinary experience. Whether indulging in a curated walking tour, savoring the Estate’s wines, or simply enjoying the breathtaking views, guests will immerse themselves in the timeless charm of Stony Hill.
