Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards is a winery in Sonoma County, California that produces sparkling wines, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay and is located 40 miles northwest of San Francisco, California.

History

[edit]

Gloria and José Ferrer came from Barcelona, Spain in 1982, and founded Gloria Ferrer Caves & Vineyards in the Los Carneros region of Sonoma County, California in 1986. The Ferrer winery uses clonal research [1][2][3] to match grape varietals to diverse soil conditions. Bob Iantosca is the Director of Winemaking [4] and Mike Crumly is the Vineyard Manager. [5]

The winery hosted the International Climate Change Seminar in July 2008 [6] and was moderated by Pancho Campo, founder of the Wine Academy of Spain.

The wines are cultivated on two Sonoma Carneros properties, both planted with Pinot Noir [7] and Chardonnay. The 207-acre Home Ranch, with four different soil types, has elevations ranging from 50 to 325 feet, the 128-acre Circle Bar Ranch ranges from 50 to 280 feet and consists of 13 different blocks.
