Our Vineyards
Bella Grace Vineyards plants at no more than 538 vines per acre with 9x9 spacing. All vines have disease and drought resistant root stock and are pruned for low yields and high quality grapes. Sustainable vineyard practices are employed at all times, respectful of the environment. Good winegrowing combined with the granitic composition of Amador County's rolling hills, plus a climate of cool nights and warm days, all help to produce quality grapes for our award winning wines.
