The concept of terroir encompasses the total natural environment of a vineyard and is the key decisive factor in determining the quality of the final product.
The terroir of Kelleris Vineyard is exceptionally good. The field is on a southeast slope, well protected by wind breaks to the north and west. The soil is light sandy clay. Because of Kelleris Vineyard's close vicinity to the coast, potentially damaging low nighttime temperatures during winter, bud break and harvest seasons are minimized due to the sea's warming effect.
