Great wine starts with a great story.
This story begins in 1960 when four
cuttings of this unique grape were
brought to the San Joaquin Valley
from Croatia. This wine remained in
relative obscurity for decades until
it was discovered by our head vintner.
UC Davis proved that this grape is
genetically unknown. We are the
first winery in California to grow this
one-of-a-kind grape and make its
wine available to the public. It was
recognized as a premier wine at the
esteemed Orange County Wine
Competition, winning Double Gold.
Our grapes are grown in the best
soil and climate in the Central Valley
along the banks of the San Joaquin
River. Our bold flavored wine has
elegant hints of blackberries,
blueberries, spice and more.
