Includes 24.4 acres of vineyards
St. Helena, Calif.-based Sill Family Vineyards announced it acquired the Ardente Estate Winery, an Atlas Peak AVA Napa winery. The property consists of 24.4 acres within the fabled Atlas Peak appellation, it adds.
Igor Sill, vintner and winemaker at Sill Family Vineyards said: “The complex influences that result in this vineyard’s unique characteristics are embodied in the concept of ‘terroir,’ a term that aptly captures the elements of soil, slopes, climate, placement of vines, environmental and cultural influences in producing wine. We are thrilled to have secured this truly magical vineyard. It’s the domain of some incredibly great Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards.
