Gold
Hill was founded in 1980 by Hank Battjes.
Hank spent 27 years as
an Electrical Engineer at GTE in the Bay Area while managing to
maintain his hobby and passion as an expert home-wine maker.
In
pursuit of his dream, he located 5 acres of vineyard
on an
80 acre parcel near Coloma.
|
Over
the next 10
years, Hank commuted from his home in Palo Alto to his Coloma ranch on
weekends
to
expand the vineyard to 40 acres.
The
Winery became bonded
and fully functional in 1985.
By 1989, Hank was able to
retire
and move to Coloma to develop his hobby into a viable and award-winning
winery.
Ten
more acres have been
planted since, to make up today's
50 acre
vineyard. Gold
Hill's 4,000 square
foot barrel
room produces
2,500 cases of
award winning wines annually.
Gold Hill Vineyard has been
producing
gold medal winning Bordeaux style
reds and Chardonnay since 1985 and for ten years has cultivated and
offered
award winning Italian and Rhone varietals.
