No reliable information is provided specifically for Andover Estate. The supplied notes instead describe Scheid Family Wines, a family-owned Monterey County producer founded by Al Scheid in 1972 and now led by his children, Scott and Heidi Scheid. Its operations include a Greenfield winery, estate vineyards across the Salinas Valley, and tasting rooms in Greenfield and Carmel-by-the-Sea. Sustainability is central to the business: vineyards and winery hold California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance certification, while practices include drip irrigation with soil-moisture monitoring, cover crops, integrated pest management, renewable wind energy, water recycling, composting, and lightweight bottles. The company developed its own winery after three decades of grape growing and later began producing wines under its own labels, alongside private-label and custom production services.
