Rhys Vineyards

Rhys Vineyards is a California winery known for crafting terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from eight estate mountain vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains and Mendocino County. The winery's focus on exceptional land has led to the discovery and cultivation of new vineyard sites, guided by data, instinct, and careful study of soil composition, slope, elevation, and climate. Each vineyard was planted from scratch, with a patient process that took decades to realize, resulting in a collection of unique mountain vineyards that speak clearly through their wines. The winery's approach is centered on listening to the sites, farming thoughtfully, and allowing them to express themselves with purity and transparency. Rhys Vineyards does not impose a style, instead prizing the distinctiveness of each site. The winery offers private, by-appointment tastings at its Skyline Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where visitors can experience the beauty of the vineyards and the wines they produce. The 30,000 square foot cave, completed in 2010, is designed for efficient natural flow from grape arrival through bottling, with a focus on slow and gentle handling to preserve the quality of the fruit. Rhys Vineyards' commitment to terroir-driven winemaking and exceptional land has earned it a reputation as one of California's most innovative and respected producers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
