Acaibo

The Terroir of Acaibo

At Acaibo, sustainable and organic farming techniques are practiced. Works are done closely with some biodynamic practices in order to preserve the land heritage and preserve the future. They strive for the balance between science and nature that allows the wines to reflect this unique terroir. Located between the cool Russian River at the west, the warm Alexander Valley at the northeast, and Knights Valley, at 750 feet elevation, the land features a range of microclimates, topographic, and soils. The Terroir is the highlight of their delicate and well-balanced wines. Originally from the Bordeaux region of France, they focus on growing world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Winemaking Practices at Acaibo

Harvest time has long been held by civilized societies as a sacred period in the calendar, the culmination of many long days and arduous efforts. Here at Acaibo, they hold this moment in similarly high regard. They rise early, to carefully handpick the grapes in the cool nighttime and early morning temperatures to maintain freshness. They arrived at the winery, in a small container in a pristine condition, uncrushed. The grapes are meticulously sorted, berry by berry until they have the perfectly ripe and highest in quality.
