Launched with the 2018 vintage, Groth’s Oakville Neighbors Series explores the diversity of Oakville Cabernet through single-vineyard grower lots that stand on their own as a distinct expression of the appellation.

The Groth family was introduced to Lauras’ Vineyard by Michael Weis, Groth’s winemaker from 1994 to 2020, and has purchased Cabernet Sauvignon from the site since the early 2000s. The plural apostrophe in Lauras’ is intentional as the family-owned vineyard is named after five generations of women named Laura. Laura Holmes is the current owner; her daughter is Laura Caroline; and her mother, Laura Diana, helped run the vineyard from the time her family purchased it in 1958. The property is farmed by Alex Vyborny, with whom Groth has worked for decades. Alex, who works closely with his son, Ben, is that rarest of farmers, one whose knowledge and experience run as deep as the vines he tends.
