Populis was born from the desire to make light-hearted, naturally-made, extremely drinkable wines from exciting Old-vine vineyards in Mendocino County. They partner with Larry Venturi who is a third generation grape grower and works his historic, dry farmed and old-vine vineyard organically. The vineyards are mainly Pinole gravelly loam soil with amazing drainage and optimal nutrients to allow the vines to thrive.
