Anthill Farms "Helluva Vineyard" White '20

Anthill Farms has built a reputation for producing consistently outstanding wines from top vineyards across California’s North Coast, combining site-driven sourcing with an approach that emphasizes balance, restraint, and value.

Anthill Farms was founded in 2004 by partners Anthony Filiberti, Webster Marquez, and David Low, who first met more than 15 years ago while working together at Williams Selyem in Sonoma. That shared experience instilled a deep respect for vineyard expression and thoughtful farming, principles that continue to guide their work today. While production has grown modestly over the years, Anthill remains very much a small producer, focused on high-quality fruit and intensive, holistic vineyard practices. Given the experience and talent of the team, there are few California producers offering wines of this caliber at such consistently accessible prices.

The “Helluva Vineyard” White is a blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, and Gewürztraminer from a single parcel in Mendocino. The grapes are co-fermented and vinified as a white wine, despite the inclusion of a red variety. Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer contribute ripe stone fruit, floral aromatics, and mid-palate texture, while Pinot Noir brings lift and freshness.

Like other Anthill wines, the finish here strikes a lovely balance between fruit and acidity. The wine is versatile and complete enough to enjoy on its own, yet structured to pair easily with vegetable-driven dishes, white meats, or seafood.
