Local Winemaking Specialists
We specialize in producing fine wine for private estate vineyards around Woodside, Atherton, Portola Valley, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos & Saratoga whose unique attributes are highlighted by state-of-the-art equipment and old-world hand-crafted expertise.
Our in-house winery is focused primarily on supporting our vineyard clients, and has been making excellent wines for decades, with an ever-expanding reputation and list of awards. They include multiple ‘Best of Class’ and ‘Double Gold’ medals, 2 of the top 7 positions out of 600+ wines per category submitted from around the world to the San Francisco Chronicle Wine competition, and other 90+ point accolades galore for our wines – link-to-awards-and-press
A big part of our wines’ very high quality is the equally high quality of the team. Having a very high-end winemaker working with an equally skilled vineyard team, means we get the best fruit possible and the ability to make the absolute most of it.
We are also specialists in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation’s steep slopes, shallow soils and marine layers that provide early budbreak, late harvest and cooler end-of-day temperatures so grapes mature slowly with intense and complex flavor.
Finally, we are also specialists in small-lot winemaking, working with a number of private vineyards and sizes of harvested lots that would baffle most wineries. Only a local, residential-specialist winery such as ourselves has the deep experience to take full advantage of the unusually numerous vineyards’ varied terrain and grapes.
