ORGANIC, BY PRACTICE AND BY PROOF
Certified Organic. Rooted in Stewardship.
Our two certified organic estate vineyards in the Petaluma Gap are the result of years spent farming with the health of the land in mind. For us, certification is more than a designation. It is independent verification of the choices we make every season and a commitment to caring for the vineyards that sustain us.
CERTIFIED ORGANIC
More Than a Label
Organic certification provides independent verification that our farming practices meet established organic standards. For Keller Estate, that certification reflects choices already rooted in how we care for the land: thoughtful inputs, close observation, and long-term stewardship.
INDEPENDENTLY VERIFIED
Certification provides outside confirmation of the farming practices used across our estate vineyards.
ESTATE GROWN
Our two certified organic estate vineyards in the Petaluma Gap are farmed with the same long-term approach to land stewardship.
BUILT FOR THE FUTURE
Every decision is made with the health of the vineyard and the generations that follow in mind.
OUR APPROACH
Farming With the Vineyard, Not Against It
Organic farming asks us to pay closer attention. In the cool, coastal Petaluma Gap, morning fog and mildew pressure can make that work particularly demanding. Rather than relying on synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, we take a preventative, holistic approach: building soil health with cover crops and compost, encouraging beneficial insects and natural predators, and considering every vineyard input for its impact on the larger ecosystem.
A Living System
Our vineyards are managed as living systems. Cover crops help build healthy soils and suppress weeds, while sheep contribute naturally to mowing and fertilization. These practices require observation, patience, and a deeper understanding of vineyard ecology, but that is precisely the point.
Farming organically allows us to care for the land with transparency today while preserving its vitality for the generations that follow.
COVER CROPS
Support soil health and help naturally suppress weeds.
SHEEP
Contribute to mowing and fertilization throughout the vineyard.
BENEFICIAL INSECTS
Support a more balanced vineyard ecosystem.
NATURAL PREDATORS
Help reduce reliance on conventional pest-control methods.
LA CRUZ + EL CORO
Two Vineyards. One Commitment.
Our two certified organic estate vineyards in the Petaluma Gap, La Cruz and El Coro, are shaped by different elevations, soils, and exposures, but share the same commitment to thoughtful farming and long-term care for the land.
El Coro Vineyard
At the estate’s highest ridge, El Coro is exposed to stronger winds and a distinct combination of elevation and soil.

Healthy Vineyards. Honest Wines.
The way we farm shapes the fruit we bring into the cellar. By focusing on soil health, vineyard balance, and careful observation, we aim to grow grapes that reflect the character of the Petaluma Gap and allow the wines to speak clearly of where they come from.
