Vineyard Character
Dina’s Vineyard was planted by Dina Arata’s family more than 93 years ago. Today roughly five acres of gnarled,
dry-farmed vines remain at the old Arata home. The vines are predominantly head-trained. They are planted on the
typical old-vine, eight-by-eight spacing, originally intended to allow horses to cultivate between the vines in both
directions. Deep, dark color, blueberry fruit, and a weighty, polished wetslate-like mouthfeel are all signatures of
Dina’s Vineyard terroir.
