OPEN HOURS

Wild King Vineyard lies immediately to the east of Solomon Hills Vineyard and to the west of The Warner Henry Vineyard and Presqu’ile Vineyard, and is the first producing estate vineyard of Lumen. The vineyard was planted by Doug King in 2007, entirely to Pinot Noir. The soils are sand which runs very deep, consisting mostly of the ‘Marina Formation,’ which is a reddish sand that was once a beachside sand dune. During the growing season, mornings are generally foggy and cold, followed by breezy afternoons that keep temperatures down and serve to air-dry the fruit.

Will Henry began harvesting fruit from the Wild King in 2021, when he discovered that the vines were left untended for an entire year – no pruning, no spray, no water – no farming at all. The fruit, defying all logic, was some of the best that Lumen has ever seen. We made two wines from the Wild King that year: Pinot Noir Wild King Vineyard, and The Mad King. The former will be released in 2023, and the latter in 2024. The vineyard became ours later that year, and will be a main fruit source for us going forward. The farming is zero-intervention organic, and dry-farmed.
