Owned by the Harlan family of Harlan Estate, Promontory lies on one of the unique sites in Oakville and represents the next step in Bill Harlan’s plan to establish a wine dynasty in California. Its wines are some of the most sought-after in the world and perfectly represent the power and potential of Napa Valley.
Bill Harlan first stumbled across this land in the 1980s. While its rare metamorphic soils held immense promise, the land had been decimated; the soils were essentially destroyed and robbed of their organic matter.
A regeneration process is still in place at Promontory. Vines are largely untrellised; plots are scattered around the farm and are less domesticated than in many US estates. This gives the Promontory team an astounding range of microclimates and aspects, each imparting a distinct, raw sense of place to the resulting wines.
The team at Promontory employs unusual techniques to coax the best out of their high-altitude vines; vineyards are “mixed pace”, and each vine is allowed to develop at its rate. They also employ “dry farming”, an incredibly rare choice that avoids irrigating crops during a dry season. In this way, they ensure a greater concentration of fruit in their wines and future-proof themselves for summers when water will be in increasingly scarce supply.
