Winemaker & Wine

Winemaker

Long time California wine-maker William Knuttel has concentrated on ultra-premium winemaking for the majority of his career. His philosophy has long been to make a wide range of wines in various styles every vintage, for the simple reason that the number of vintages for any winemaker is quite finite. This wealth of experience has led directly to his adherence to traditional winemaking practices, which lead to balanced, elegant wines that pair well with foods and have excellent aging potential—the hallmarks of classic wine.

Wine

Square Peg Winery is a boutique, family-owned winery in Russian River Valley specializing in estate-grown, dry-farmed Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Rosé. Our Sonoma County estate vineyard is sustainably farmed and carefully managed to highlight the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley AVA. Each wine is produced in limited quantities and offered exclusively at our Estate Tasting Room. The result is a collection of small-lot, premium wines that reflect the character of our terroir, the precision of our winemaking, and the distinct identity of this renowned Northern California wine region.
