Terroir Innovation in Lodi
Lodi is uniquely positioned as one of the most versatile and dynamic winegrowing regions in the world. With seven officially recognized AVAs, the region is home to a stunning diversity of soil types, microclimates, and elevations. From the sandy loams near the Mokelumne River to the volcanic soils of Clements Hills, Lodi offers a complex tapestry of terroirs—each capable of producing distinct expressions of wine.
This wide-ranging natural diversity makes Lodi a living laboratory for terroir innovation. It’s a place where classic varietals like Zinfandel and Cabernet thrive alongside more adventurous plantings like Albariño, Grenache Blanc, Carignane, and Dolcetto. Klinker Brick embraces this opportunity by working with a broad palette of grape varieties, allowing their winemaking team to explore new stylistic directions, techniques, and site selections.
While the world knows Lodi for its old vines and powerhouse reds, the truth is we are only scratching the surface of what Lodi can do. As viticulture continues to evolve, so too does Lodi’s role as a region of innovation, experimentation, and discovery—making it one of the most exciting wine regions in the country.
