OUR WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY

When the vines speak, you listen.

We believe that our wine begins in the vineyard, and ultimately, with mother nature. The location of our vineyards- the climate and terroir – combined with the age of our vines is the foundation of our winemaking. And, having farmed these vineyards for over 100 years, each vine is like family member and when the vine speaks, we listen.

The non-internventionalist practices Jack employs in the vineyard are carried over to the winery where our celebrated winemaker, Kristy Melton, begins to work her magic. Kristy chooses the best blocks of our old vine Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc to make our highly-limited estate wines. Leveraging minimal yet highly modern fermentation and aging techniques, Kristy strives to achieve exceptional balance in our wines with a level of sophistication and concentration truly unique to Varozza Vineyards.
