About Lutum Wines
Lutum Wines takes its name from the Latin lutum — clay, the fine-grained sedimentary soil that is one of viticulture's most complex growing media. Clay soils retain water during drought, drain during wet periods, and provide a natural reservoir of minerals that vines access slowly. The clay-naming declares the estate's terroir-focused philosophy: wine that expresses the clay's specific mineral and hydrological character in the Sta. Rita Hills' Pacific-influenced growing environment.
