THE COMPANY

One of the pioneers of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Californian Russian River Valley, located in Sonoma County, DeLoach has been experimenting and perfecting the best combinations of soil and substrate with different clones for over 30 years. With the acquisition by the Boisset family in 2003, DeLoach began part of a process of transferring Burgundy knowledge with a view to revitalizing the soil and at the same time obtaining wines that are the result of its terroir. In fact, Brian Maloney, the young winemaker of the winery, has a single motto: “terroir show first”. Certified organic in 2008 (one of the first American companies) and biodynamic in 2009, the company has begun, in French style, the vinification of individual terroirs, from Maboroshi to Green Valley to Pennacchio, in search of the highest expressions of Pinot Noir. De Loach is today a perfect ambassador of Californian oenology with fine and elegant wines of great depth and longevity.
