Pott Wine – NAPA GALA

POTT WINE

Pott Wine’s main focus is on the appellation of Mt. Veeder where Aaron and Claire Pott own and farm approximately 10 acres of grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Viognier, Syrah, Zinfandel and Mondeuse.
The grapes are farmed organically and the wines are made almost entirely by hand (no presses, no pumps). We use only the wines’ own indigenous yeasts and we use a variety of old world techniques and materials - such as terracotta amphorae – to gently extract the natural aromatics of our unique site.
