| Location |
Freestone area of the Sonoma Coast on the west side of the Bohemian Highway. Quarter Moon Vineyard lies on a south-facing slope at an elevation of up to 500 feet, above the fog line and only 5 miles, as the crow flies, from the Pacific Ocean. Its elevation and proximity to the ocean provides good solar radiation during the growing season. Cool, coastal breezes help to dry out moisture in the air left from morning fog. Dramatic changes in elevation, including slopes of 2 to 50 percent, result in moderately well-drained soils, medium runoff and slow permeability. |
