What if a vineyard could spark a whole new way of living?

THE ART OF REGENERATIVE WINEMAKING

From Vineyard to Cellar

By following the cues of nature, we’re crafting wines that are more complex, vibrant, and expressive—while restoring the land for generations to come.

At Jalama Canyon Ranch, we embrace regenerative viticulture through:

Cover Crops – We plant cover crops that keep living roots in the soil, build organic matter, and make a home for helpful insects, pollinators, and microbes.

Biodiversity – Vineyards often grow just grapes and use sprays like herbicides and pesticides, which keeps plant and animal life low. We boost biodiversity with more plants, animals, insects, and tiny soil helpers to make the land stronger and healthier.

Grazing – Our herd of goats help naturally cycle nutrients and improves soil health.

No-Till Farming – Protecting the soil microbiome around the vines for richer, more complex grape flavors.

Soil Health Monitoring – Cutting-edge research guides our regenerative practices.

In the cellar, Sandhi Wines employs a meticulous approach to winemaking:

Whole Bunch Fermentation – Chardonnay grapes are placed into fermentation first, with Pinot Noir layered on top.

Gentle Extraction - A combination of pumpovers, treading, and one punch down to enhance structure without overpowering the fruit.

Aged in Neutral French Oak – Allowing purity of terroir to shine.

A Reflection of Each Vineyard – Sandhi uses a consistent winemaking process that lets each site’s character shine.
