Rombauer Acquires 54-Acre Sonoma Vineyard

The vineyard, called "Carriger Two" by the Rombauer team, has been a primary source of Sauvignon Blanc for Rombauer, since they expanded the portfolio to include the variety in 2014. It sits adjacent to the Carriger One Vineyard, acquired by Rombauer in 2022, in a small pocket on the southwestern reach of Sonoma Valley, an historical AVA with a tradition of winegrowing dating back over 150 years.

“This vineyard has been a source for Rombauer’s popular Sauvignon Blanc, a highly-requested variety, and this acquisition will help us meet demand for this wine” President/CEO Bob Knebel. “The site is perfectly situated between our other Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in the warmer Napa Valley and cooler Russian River Valley. The fruit brings punchy varietal intensity to the wine.”

This vineyard purchase follows Rombauer Vineyards’ acquisition of Carriger One in Sonoma Valley, Haire Vineyard in Carneros-Sonoma, and a Fiddletown vineyard in the Amador AVA, all acquired in April 2022 to secure consistent quality fruit sourcing for Rombauer wines. Terms weren't disclosed.
