Plant the same grape in two different places and it will tell two different stories. Soil, elevation, climate, sunlight and the hands that farm the vineyard all leave their mark.

The French gave that relationship a name: terroir. It is simply place made visible through the wine.

Good fruit should arrive in the cellar needing guidance, not rescue. We farm sustainably and make wine without unnecessary additives.

We do not use animal-derived fining products, so our wines are vegan. We also keep sulfite additions low while ensuring the wine remains properly protected. Natural does not mean careless.

Europe has spent centuries learning which grapes belong together and which styles work best at the table. That accumulated knowledge deserves respect.

We take inspiration from Bordeaux, Burgundy, the Rhône and Alsace, then express those traditions through California vineyards. These are California wines with a European sense of balance, structure and purpose.

Because good sparkling wine need not always be white—and tradition becomes more interesting when it meets a little curiosity.

We make Sparkling White, Sparkling Malbec and Sparkling Shiraz using the traditional Méthode Champenoise. The process is French; the fruit and personality are unmistakably Californian.
