The Pedregal Estate

The Pedregal Estate is located in the Eastern Hills of Oakville, Napa Valley. The Mendelson’s trees are a mix of older Spanish varietals that were originally brought over by the missionaries and Italian varietals that were planted to border the Pedregal vineyards. Because the olives are harvested early, the estate always produces a big green fruity oil with notes of lush tropical fruit.  This oil has good pungency and ends with a slight peppery finish.  The mixture of varietals and ages of the trees combine to produce an unique extra virgin olive oil.  The St. Helena Olive Oil Company always has a small harvest and it usually sells out with the first email announcing it’s release.
