History

The single square mile of hillside pioneered by the Newtons in 1977 is an impressive site, with expansive vistas of Napa Valley and beyond.

The terraced mountain estate has less than one-fifth of its total 560 acres planted to vines at elevations ranging from 500 to 1,600 feet above sea level. The non-farmed acreage remains in its native forested state providing natural habitat for indigenous wildlife.

Each of the distinctive vineyard blocks is planted to a specific Bordeaux variety with an emphasis on Cabernet Sauvignon.

These parcels reflect distinct soil types, sun exposures and individual microclimates. The blocks are fermented separately to contribute complexity to the final blended wine. The blocks are set among the native vegetation to preserve the ecosystem of the hillside.

 

The dominant feature of this remarkable site appears at the vineyard’s highest point where a single tree crowns the ridge line. This lone pine, over 100 feet tall and visible from many points in Napa Valley, is called Pino Solo. An enduring icon, Pino Solo appears on the label of Newton wines, a mark designating singular wines created from a singular passion.

The winery was designed and built to blend into the mountain and includes elements of the founders’ native lands interwoven with the California environment — roses, a pagoda, a Chinese red gate, lanterns, a London phone booth and English gardens.

Vineyards

Cabernet Sauvignon has consistently proven to be the strongest performing varietal in our Spring Mountain vineyard and to emphasize its exceptional quality, our replanting efforts are focused on Cabernet Sauvignon.

As we replant our Spring Mountain vineyard blocks, we are utilizing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from our three estate vineyards in Napa Valley’s most prestigious appellations: Spring Mountain, Mt. Veeder and Yountville.

Newton’s sustainable practices consider the entire ecosystem, vines, animals, other plant species, soil life and type in order to minimize pests and diseases and foster a healthy symbiotic relationship between our vines and the environment. Avoiding commonly practiced short-term solutions, Newton adopts a long-term sustainable and balanced approach.

Winemaking

Newton’s “Nature by Design” philosophy is present throughout the winemaking process. The winery was custom designed to allow minimal handling of the fruit, from the use of gravity flow systems to separate batch fermenting. Newton wines are naturally fermented using indigenous yeast to preserve the natural fruit essence achieved in the vineyard. The subtle variances of each component, when blended together, contribute to the overall complexity of the finished wine.

 

Newton wines mature in French oak barrels in caves tunneled into the hillside which offer an ideal environment for aging while blending in with the natural surroundings. This meticulous method of crafting of wines in harmony with nature is labor-intensive, yet produces some of the world’s finest wines. Newton wines offer intense purity of fruit and have the unique ability to be enjoyable on release or after decades of careful cellaring.
