The beautiful mountain vineyards of the Heller Estate nestle in dramatic hills overlooking the Cachagua region of Carmel Valley, ("Cachagua" is believed to be an Indian Derivative of the French "cacher" and the Spanish "agua" - "hidden waters") at an altitude of 1200 - 1500 feet, producing rich, luscious grapes, which result in outstanding premium wines from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir.
The 120 acres of vineyards are essentially dry-farmed, the roots of the vines descending deep in the loamy, sandy soil in search of the underground "Cachagua" springs. These stressed vines produce outstanding luscious fruit, which are then skillfully crafted into the exceptional age-worthy and full-bodied wines.
The vineyards are certified 100% organic. Neither herbicides nor pesticides are used in the production of the grapes. Rich Tanguay, is the winemaker overseeing the production of these award-winning wines.
The current production is approximately 25,000 cases annually and all vines are estate bottled.
