HALLBERG VINEYARD, RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
The Hallberg Vineyard is the home ranch of Emeritus Vineyards, which provides the fruit for the Emeritus, Estate Bottled, Russian River Valley cuvée. This stunning site bears the name of the former owners, Don and Marcia Hallberg, who in 1999, with aging apple trees past their prime, sold the 115-acre orchard to Emeritus Vineyards. With soils and climate ideal for growing Pinot Noir, the land was returned to vineyards after 65 years and the Hallberg name continues as a hallmark of Russian River Valley agriculture.
