About

Upon discovery of the Knights Valley Ranch in 1982, Sir Peter Michael pledged his 100×100 vision for the ranch and winery to remain under family stewardship for 100 years.

Once referred to as Sugar Loaf Ranch spanning just over 600 acres, today the Knights Valley Ranch encompasses nearly 750 acres (304 hectares), inclusive of vineyards on the hillsides of Mount St Helena at elevations reaching 2,000 ft. (609 meters), meandering down through forests to the valley floor where the winery, gardens and olive orchards reside.

Sir Peter and Lady Michael embraced the land as their home away from home, creating a sanctuary for generations to come. Today, their son Paul, and his wife Emily, continue the vision. And with each generation, the commitment and passion deepens.

Since inception, these three attributes; Mountain Vineyards, Classical Winemaking, and Limited Production, have adorned the label, reflecting the origin of the wines, their approach, and the reality of farming in unpredictable climates and elevations.
