Straw-gold in color with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and a hint of toasted vanilla. The palate is vibrant and medium-bodied, featuring flavors of citrus peel, apple skin, and light cream.

Wine has a way of surprising you; the more you know, the more there is to discover. In the spirit of “Wine as Discovery,” we’ll touch on everything from understanding different wine styles and grape varietals, to how our wines are crafted on Old Mission Peninsula’s unique terroir.
In a global community increasingly focused on sustainability, upcycling—transforming discarded materials into something of higher value—has become a popular and creative way to reduce waste. Why not bring this eco-friendly mindset to your dining table?
Some collaborations feel destined from the start. The idea for the Wine Steward Select program began as a simple conversation—a shared belief that the most memorable wines aren’t just made in the cellar, but through the people who understand them best.
