What Makes Dorval Wines Different
Three vineyards. Distinct soils. Hands-on farming. Purposeful winemaking. This is the foundation of Dorval.
The distinction of Dorval wines begins in the vineyard and our approach to delivery wine to the consumer. Our three distinct estate vineyard sites, each with its own character, terrain, elevation, and soil composition, give us an opportunity to grow wines with a true sense of place.
Located in the rugged foothills of the Sierra Foothill AVA, our vineyards are rooted in a remarkable mix of granite, quartz, volcanic clay, red clay, and sandy loam. This diversity is central to how we approach winegrowing. Every site, soil type, grape variety, and clone is considered carefully, with plantings selected to bring out the natural characteristics and potential of each vine.
That philosophy carries into the winery, where our winemaking program combines traditional French influence with carefully selected, high-quality French and American oak barrels. Barrel selection, cooperage, toast, and aging are all important elements in developing the structure, complexity, and character of our wines.

Hard Work and Authenticity in Every Bottle Produced
Our approach is hands-on and intentional. Founder Andrew Kerr and the Dorval vineyard team work closely with the land, carefully training and managing the vines using specialized trellising systems adapted to the individual slopes, exposures, and terrain of each vineyard. Nothing is arbitrary. From vine placement and training to canopy management and harvest decisions, every detail receives consideration.
