Mettler Family Vineyards specializes in Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah, and Old Vine Zinfandel. We are a six generation farming family who has been farming in Lodi since 1899.
Our family has been growing grapes for eight generations, dating back to a small German, now French villageAlsace. We have been growing premium wine grapes in theLodiappellation for five generations. We were one of the very first farming families to introduce French clones to our region, and have experience growing many varieties of grapes. We farm hundreds of acres some of which date back to our families original properties, which are over 100 years old.
Our Cabernet is selected from very small blocks of vineyards, which are trained on special trellis systems, one which was originally designed by Jason, our vineyard manager and Larry. Our trellis systems allow just the right amount of sunlight to grace the fruit on the vine. Our crop level is controlled using minimum use of water and hand thinning. Our wine is an expression of where and how the grapes are grown, including the clonal choice, vineyard sites, trellis, crop management and expertise of the winemaker. We personally manage the entire process, paying close attention to every detail.
Our family is committed to being on the cutting edge concerning the farming of our vineyards. It is our dedication to this and the personal control we have over our vineyards that allow us to master the quality of our wine from the vineyard to the bottle.
