Vineyard Profile
Exposed to the rigors of the foggy Sonoma coastline, this sixth-generation family-owned ranch resides on a bluff above Bodega, a few miles from the Pacific Ocean. This marginal site on the edge of the Sonoma Coast, Demeter certified Biodynamic® and farmed by the Benzigers, is characterized by consistently low yields and extended hang times. Cool temperatures during bloom resulted in another modest harvest in 2016, with only three barrels produced. Extremely limited, the 2016 Terra Neuma is a wild optimist, rewarding upon release or with patient cellar ageing.
