Making exemplary wines From our estate Quail Hill Vineyard is a singular focus for our winery. |
 |
After selling fruit from the estate to some of the top Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producers in the Russian River Valley, the Fritz family founded Lynmar Winery in 1990 to produce world-class wines reflecting the character of the Quail Hill Vineyard and the appellation. To achieve this goal, we follow a few guiding principles.
Our estate Quail Hill Vineyard is a unique site and possesses superb qualities for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The combination of the vineyard's location, soil composition, long and cool growing season, dramatic elevation changes, and clone and rootstock selections make this a prized vineyard. The vineyard's character guides our signature Lynmar wine style; wines with rich, full, deep, ripe berry flavors with natural acids and soft tannins.
We believe the team, above the individual, is the way to achieve
the Fritz family vision. Founder Lynn Fritz believes the "whole
is larger than the sum of its parts." In spring 2003, he began
assembling a world-class team
with the skill and drive to bring the vision to life. By spring
2004, the handpicked team was in place and the Fritz family
announced an investment plan to ensure they had the very best
resources at hand to create the desired world-class wines.
Because the Russian River Valley is our home, we feel strongly
that we should protect our environment and be a part of the
fabric of the community. We actively support the promotion of
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and the appellation through the participation
of regional wine events. Mindful of our environment and our
staff's well being, we employ sustainable and organic farming
techniques that are gentle on the region's natural resources
as well as our team members. Our vineyard shares a border with
the Laguna de Santa
Rosa, the 250 square-mile watershed that is home to mammals,
reptiles, native plants and migrating birds, Lynmar's vineyard
and winery team uses the most habitat-friendly farming techniques
and is sensitive to the needs of the ecosystem. |
