The story

The story behind Bonterra

Bonterra's farming story starts in Mendocino County, where Barney Fetzer planted the estate in 1968 and the family went organic in 1987. The Bonterra label launched in 1993, and today it is the largest Regenerative Organic Certified winery in the United States. Grapes are certified organic by CCOF, and the estate reached ROC Silver in 2021 with sheep and chickens working the rows.

Viña Concha y Toro bought the company in 2011. Wine Enthusiast named it American Winery of the Year in 2016, the first fully organic vintner to take that honor. The red blends lean on Merlot, Petite Sirah, Zinfandel and Syrah, aged in French oak from six to sixteen months depending on the bottling.

Bonterra keeps organic wine honest on price. The Red Blend sits at $10.99 a bottle when we have it, and the Merlot and Zinfandel both run $12.99. Step up to the Pinot Noir at $17.99 for something lighter and more delicate at the table. Our Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay are $13.99, and the Viognier lands at $18.99.

Good to know

Bonterra questions, answered

Is Bonterra wine organic?
Yes. Bonterra wines are made with 100% certified organic grapes verified by California Certified Organic Farmers, and the estate holds Regenerative Organic Certification Silver. A small amount of sulfur dioxide is added at bottling for stability.
Who owns Bonterra?
Bonterra is owned by Viña Concha y Toro, which acquired the company in 2011. The farming estate was founded in Mendocino County in 1968 by Barney Fetzer, and the Bonterra label launched in 1993.
What grapes are in Bonterra Red Blend?
The standard Bonterra Red Blend is built on Merlot and Petite Sirah, aged in oak. The Equinox Red adds Zinfandel, Malbec and Syrah, spending six months in French oak.
How should I serve Bonterra red blends?
Serve slightly cool, around 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. That temperature tempers the 14% alcohol and lifts the ripe plum, blueberry and dark currant notes. Pair with grilled red meat or roasted vegetables.
