Bogle Family Vineyards

In 1968, the Bogle family embarked on a journey by planting twenty acres of wine grapes on their family farm in Clarksburg, Northern California. This initial venture laid the foundation for what would become Bogle Family Vineyards, a winery with a legacy spanning over five decades. The Bogle family, deeply involved in the daily operations, is dedicated to producing wines of remarkable character and depth. The family's commitment to winemaking was pioneered by Warren and Chris Bogle, who initially planted Chenin Blanc and Petite Syrah. Today, the vineyard has expanded to over 800 hectares, with a diverse range of wines that include Chardonnay, Old Vine Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Pinot Noir, and Viognier. The Bogle family's flagship wine, Phantom, is a premium red blend renowned for its rich, old vine fruit and extensive aging in American Oak.

Bogle Family Vineyards is distinguished by its meticulous viticultural and winemaking practices. The focus on single-vineyard wines ensures that each bottle captures the unique terroir of the specific vineyard from which it originates. Their approach includes careful vineyard management to maximise the quality of the grapes, coupled with traditional winemaking techniques. The result is a portfolio of wines that consistently deliver exceptional quality. Bogle’s winemaker employs a blend of innovative and time-honoured methods, such as extended barrel aging and the use of American Oak, which imparts a distinctive character to their wines. This combination of attention to detail in the vineyard and artistry in the cellar sets Bogle wines apart in the competitive landscape of California winemaking.

The vineyard integrates eco-friendly farming practices and renewable energy solutions to minimise its carbon footprint and ensure the long-term health of the land.

In 2019, Bogle established the Bogle Gives Back programme, focusing on community support and engagement. This programme underscores the vineyard's dedication not only to sustainable farming but also to social responsibility. Following the devastating wildfires in 2020, Bogle Family Vineyards raised over $20,000 to aid neighbouring Napa and Sonoma communities, reflecting their ethos of generosity and community support.
