ABOUT OUR VINEYARD
Rancho de Voladores Vineyard (Ranch
of the Soaring Birds) rests on eighty secluded acres of some of
Paso Robles most beautiful mountain country, situated between
twelve and fourteen hundred feet in elevation. Whether lush green
in the spring, or golden in the fall, the views are enhanced by
faraway mountains, open fields and nearby oak forests. A wooded
seasonal creek runs through the ranch, adding to the variety of
the countryside. Its thirty acres of Bordeaux and Rhone style
grapes are prized for their quality, which is derived partly from
the varied terrain and partly from the attention given to each
individual vine. The Zinfandel vines are head pruned. The Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah vines are trained on a rarely seen
double wire trellis. This system takes years longer to reach full
production, but eventually provides optimum air and sunlight to
the clusters. A well known local producer of fine wines has stated
that "Rancho de Voladores Vineyard has one of the best vineyard
locations on the Central Coast."
