This site lies at 800 feet elevation on a gently rolling plateau one half mile east of Occidental and seven miles west of the Pacific Ocean. Littorai was the first winery to bottle a single vineyard chardonnay from this vineyard with the 1994 vintage and we have been souring the same seven rows ever since. The Littorai section is farmed using only organic materials.
