Trials, Tribulations, Triumphs, and of course Terroir...

Yes, Malibu. The grapes for our wines are grown not on the famous beach, playground to the stars and surfers' Mecca, but in a scenic valley four miles inland and 1400 feet above the coastal fog. In 1987 George Rosenthal began planting vineyards at this 250 acre Malibu retreat, but only after he spent two years carefully checking soil composition and weather conditions to make sure he planted the correct varietals in the most ideal locations on the property. The work proved worthwhile and thirty-two acres of hillside vines are now planted in this unique microclimate.

And while a vineyard in Malibu may sounds glamorous, you’ll soon discover that it’s an intense undertaking that requires a labor of love from all involved: from pruning the vines to budbreak to harvest, to bottling the wine, to getting it to the stores and eventually into your wine glass this blog is our way of sharing with you our vineyard trials, tribulations, triumphs, and a whole lot about Malibu terrior.
