The vineyard rests upon acreage in the southern Simi Hills transverse range which was formerly a part of Native American Chumash land, bordering on the later identified Rancho Las Virgenes. Incorporated into the rural equestrian community of Hidden Hills, the vineyard neighbors upon 30,000 acres of protected wildlife area under the direction of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. This designated and protected open space assures the continuing, uninterrupted interaction between vine and nature. Planted in Hidden Hills, California the wines of WiSH Vineyards benefit from steep hillsides, full sun exposures and cooling Pacific Ocean breezes flowing in the evening through Malibu Canyon. Chosen to suit the unique characteristics of the vineyard, the planting of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes has allowed for the full appreciation of the distinctive soil and climates provided by this exceptional locale.
