Kongsgaard Wine is located in Napa Valley, specifically on Atlas Peak, where John Kongsgaard and his late wife Maggy purchased their property in 2004. John, a fifth-generation Napa resident with a rich family history, has deep roots in the region. He has extensive experience in winemaking, having worked at notable wineries such as Newton Vineyards, where he pioneered the production of unfiltered white wines. The Kongsgaard vineyard, situated at elevations of 2,300 to 2,500 feet, is one of the highest in Napa County, with only 13 acres currently planted among its 150 acres. The vineyard's unique red Aiken loam soils contribute to the distinctive character of its wines. Kongsgaard produces a limited selection of wines, including two Chardonnays, a blend of Viognier and Roussanne, and a Syrah, with an annual production of around 3,000 cases. Visitors to Kongsgaard can expect a serene tasting experience in the winery's music-filled cave, which reflects John's passion for both music and winemaking. The wines are crafted with a focus on low yields and minimal intervention, emphasizing the balance and complexity of the varietals.
