Wherever I may “Loam”, where I lay my head is home.

What does LOAM mean? Well, it’s typically an equal mix of several different types of soil; silt, clay, sand and organic matter. So basically, a mixture of everything we’ve been teaching up to this point.

Loamy soils are typically TOO fertile for wine grapes. This means that the vines grow to well, and produce lower quality, less intense wine grapes.

However, that doesn’t mean without a rigorous viticulture program, and intense vine training and cultivation, that great wines cant be produced. Napa and Sonoma Valley California are famous loamy soil regions.
