After years of searching for the ideal site for our Riesling, we finally found what we were looking for at Guinness McFadden's ranch high up in the mountains of Potter Valley in Mendocino. This organic-certified vineyard sits in a distinct micro-climate with moderately warm days and cool nights, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and to develop complex flavors

At Dashe, we are committed to partnering with some of the finest small growers in Sonoma and Mendocino counties and beyond. We focus on crafting wines with a distinctive sense of place and look for that perfect balance of steep hillside vineyards, older vines, and vigor-reducing growing conditions. With almost two decades partnering with many of our growers, we work together to limit yields and reduce or eliminate the use of chemicals in the vineyards. In addition, all harvesting decisions are made by Michael Dashe.
