Single vineyard wines are very special. This means the fruit comes from one particular plot of land, so no blending together of fruit from several properties exists. As a result, they possess more character. Why? Wines made from fruit from several vineyards mesh together characteristics of many locations and generally are more homogenous. A single vineyard wine is very unique as it echos only a specific site, soil composition and environment. They tend to be more diverse in character from year to year, as blending from several sources can iron out rough edges. Easy to recognize as the vineyard name, like Rockhill Vineyard, appears on the label, they are the ultimate expression of a particular terroir.
