Towering heritage oak trees grace our vineyards with their strength and beauty. These gorgeous trees are symbolic of the wines we create from this blessed land. Solid structure, unwavering, full of life, and in perfect harmony.
The vineyards at Frank Fredericks Estate are both majestic and unique. Located between 800 and 900 feet above sea level, the vines are perfectly situated between the valley floor and the high altitude hillside. This balance creates fruit with complex tannic structure like hillside vines yet retains all of the intense, fruit-forward flavors like benchland fruit.
Our vineyards are also blessed with gravelly volcanic soils which force the vine roots to reach deep into the earth to survive. Deep roots bring a gorgeous minerality into the fruit and the grapes produced are tiny and acutely concentrated.
Frank Fredericks Estate’s main property is located on the east side of the valley. East of Yountville and just south of Atlas Peak.
We also maintain a small property in the heart of Oakville, which we feature in certain vintages.
