About Convergent Vineyards
Convergent Vineyards is named for the convergent plate boundary — the geological term for where two tectonic plates collide, one subducting beneath the other, creating the volcanic and metamorphic mountain chains that rise along the collision zone. The Sierra Nevada itself is a convergent geological product: the Farallon Plate's subduction beneath the North American Plate created the mountain building that produced the volcanic and granitic terrain where El Dorado County wine grows.
The Fair Play Road estate produces Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache, and Viognier from El Dorado County estate vineyard blocks at high elevation, where the convergent geological forces that built the Sierra Nevada are visible in the volcanic and granitic soil composition.
