A Legacy of Terroir-Driven Wines
Nestled within the picturesque landscapes of Napa Valley, Littorai Wines stands as a testament to the art of winemaking that emphasizes terroir and sustainability. Founded by winemaker Ted Lemon, Littorai has carved its niche in producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, showcasing the unique characteristics of the cool climates of Sonoma Coast and Anderson Valley. The winery's commitment to organic and biodynamic practices ensures that each bottle reflects the purity of its origin, bringing forth wines that resonate with the land from which they come.
At Littorai, the philosophy is simple yet profound: great wines are made in the vineyard. The winery spans 30 breathtaking acres, with rolling hills that provide an ideal backdrop for viticulture. Here, the maritime influence of the Pacific Ocean plays a crucial role in shaping the microclimates, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining their essential acidity. This meticulous attention to detail translates into elegant, complex wines that are both expressive and refined.
The winery's focus on small-lot production means that each wine is crafted with care, ensuring the highest quality in every bottle. This approach enables Littorai to explore different vineyard sites and varietals, unlocking the nuances of each terroir. As a result, wine enthusiasts and collectors alike have come to regard Littorai as a beacon of excellence in the world of fine wines.
