Los Chamizal Vineyard

Los Chamizal has been owned and operated by Peter Haywood since he first planted vines in 1976. These vineyards are situated in the mountains of Southern Sonoma Valley, one mile north of Sonoma. The beautiful terraced vines are carved into steeply sloping hillsides reaching 800 ft. in elevation. The soils range from well drained sandy clay loams at the lower elevations to thin fractured basalt soils at the highest elevations. The vineyard has a modestly warm climate through the day, with the vines enjoying cooler evenings air preserving higher acidity levels in the grapes. Los Chamizal is a sustainable vineyard, using permanent cover crops, compost and organic fertilizers to nurture the soil.
