OUR STORY

Doug-Winemaker

In the year 2000, we bought this 203-acre farm in the heart of Anderson Valley. It had been a sheep ranch for 150 years. Oaks, bays, and madrones lined the four creeks and dotted the rolling hills of our watershed. Every winter the oaks lost their leaves but the green ghostly garb of lichen remained. Lichen is everywhere here, from the Yorkville Highlands to the Mendocino Coast. We named our farm "Lichen Estate" in honor of its beauty and grace.

THE WINES

Lichen-Wine

A third of our fruit goes into our estate sparkling wine: Blanc de Gris and Blanc de Noir and our Grand Cuvée. The rest goes into our estate still wines: Pinot Noir, White Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris.

In the winery, we seek to express our estate vineyard's character by using the gentlest of equipment coupled with minimalist techniques. We strive for elegance, focus, purity, structure, and balance in all our wines.
