GREAT VINEYARDS HAVE VOICES THAT RESONATE WITH DEPTH AND CLARITY
Vöcal is about the natural tension in the vineyard between grape and ground, the sun and rain, the cellar, and the hand of man. Each contribution is important. These are vineyards influenced by the deep, cold Monterey Bay. This deep upwelling of cold water results in a very windy, very chilly and very sunny coastal growing region.

All wines are made in a reserve style. These wines will age with elegance.

Our vines are rooted deep in old soils, soaking in the brilliant California sunshine and leaning into the brisk bay winds; this is the voice behind Vöcal.

Nationally acclaimed sommelier and educator Ted Glennon and renowned winemaker Ian Brand produce single vineyard wines covering what they see as the true geological and climatic region around the Monterey Bay and Coastal Mountains. Single Vineyard wines from the Santa Cruz Mountains and the greater Monterey Bay. 

All cooled by the deep submarine canyon in the heart of the Monterey Bay, Vöcal’s sites emerge from the locally distinguished cooling wind and fog. From parcels with more sun, like the Santa Cruz Mountains blanketed in redwoods to the fertile limestone and granite quarries in the Cienega Valley and the sandy slopes in the Salinas Valley of the Santa Lucia Highlands, this region has produced some of the most iconic wineries in California: Ridge, Mount Eden, Chalone, Pisoni, and Calera
