A pioneering woman winemaker is making extraordinary Biodynamic wine in Glen Ellen
The Benziger Family Wines estate in Glen Ellen tells a tale of resilience, innovation, and deep respect for the earth. The vineyard, birthed in the 1870s, has weathered numerous trials, from the phylloxera devastation in the 1890s, the 1906 earthquake, and the prohibition era, resulting in abandonment for over 40 years.
