About Coquelicot Estate Vineyard
At Coquelicot Estate Vineyard, the approach to winemaking emphasizes organic techniques, allowing the grapes to develop without additives or enhancements, resulting in wines low in sulfur. Our commitment to natural wines involves limiting environmental impact, prioritizing healthy farming systems, and obtaining a CCOF certification for organic practices. The wines produced are hand-made, bold, and elegant, crafted in small batches in the heart of Santa Ynez Valley.

The vineyard, named after the French red poppy flower, spans 94 acres in the Los Olivos District, AVA, with soil well-drained and lacking in nutrients, leading to transparent wines showing varietal characteristics. The temperate microclimate, similar to Bordeaux, and the unique east-west mountain ranges allow coastal breezes that create a longer growing season, contributing to the distinctive style of wine. Our location's dramatic temperature swings help preserve acidity while achieving phenolic ripeness.

Since 2007, Coquelicot Estate Vineyard has adopted sustainable and organic farming protocols, earning organic certification in 2015. Our dedication to organic grape growing extends beyond merely avoiding synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. By practicing regenerative farming and using natural substances like mineral oil derived from stylet flowers, our vineyard ensures healthy microorganisms and soil. The usage of cover crops, including grasses, legumes, and mustards, enriches the soil, protects against erosion, and creates a habitat for beneficial insects. This extensive, holistic commitment to organic farming showcases the vineyard's deep-rooted belief in working harmoniously with nature.
