  2. History At Langtry Estate we continue to work under the spirit of Lillie Langtry, blazing our own trail making world class wines in an area which has yet to be fully discovered. We are not afraid to go against the grain, marrying our past and our future old world style with contemporary flair. • 1888: Namesake, Lillie Langtry, flamboyant British Theatre star purchases property • 1906: Lillie sells property • 1963: Malulani Investments acquires the 23,000 acre Langtry Estate & Vineyards with a focus on producing top-tier wines from the Guenoc Valley • The Winery planted extensive vineyard acreage and was one of the first in California to plant the 5 Bordeaux varietals • 1981: Guenoc Valley approved as an AVA • 2012: Foley Family Wines, become sales and marketing support for Langtry Estate & Vineyards Lillie Langtry

  3. About Langtry Estate & Vineyards • Located in Guenoc Valley within Lake County. • Guenoc is an appellation. The only vineyard that has the unusual distinction of being the vineyard owner and winery in the region. • Consists of 23,000 acres which straddles both Lake and Napa Counties with 400 acres planted to vine • 175,000 Cases of Wine produced annually • Top Producer of Sauvignon Blanc, Petite Sirah, Chardonnay & Cabernet Sauvignon

  4. Lake CountyA Rising appellation Overview: With the Mayacamas Mountains to the west and the Vaca Range to the east, Lake County’s vineyards are near one of the oldest Geological lakes in North America. Lake County’s intensity of place- climate, soils and sunlight- produce grapes and wines of compelling quality and character. Date: In 1981, Guenoc Valley was approved as an AVA and is the 1st single proprietor AVA in the country. Napa follows as #2. Location: Lake County lies in the northeastern section of the internationally recognized North Coast appellation that also includes Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino Counties. Lake County is bordered on west by the Mayacamas Mountains often called the “Axis of Cabernet,” a range that also defines the border between Napa and Sonoma counties to the south. Elevation : High elevation terroir with vineyards sitting between 700 and 2600 feet. Soils & Climate: Soils range from rocky volcanic highlands to mountain valleys line with gravelly rivers. The air is dryer, with less consistent humidity. The humidity can be half as much as Napa on any given day which helps eliminate rot. Lake County receives as much as 10% more UV exposure than its neighboring appellations. Which triggers thicker grape skins, greater tannins and intense wines. Cold winters and dry summer conditions.
