Hollister: the perfect place to begin

With its rich variety of interwoven soils, elevations and microclimates from the Pacific Ocean not too far away, Hollister was the right place for Léal’s vineyard. San Benito County is ringed and crisscrossed by mountains and Hollister viticulture has drawn similarities to Napa's famous Yountville region.
