About The Vineyard

Calluna’s Estate Blanc comes from our 2.5 acre block ofSauvignon Blanc and Semillon planted on the northeast slope of the vineyard in 2013. This is a wine of bright acidity, moderate alcohol, and great depth of flavor. These varietals complement each other as the rounder and honey-like tones of the Semillon are a counterpoint to the citrus, mineral and sharper tones of the Sauvignon Blanc. The barrel fermentation and barrel aging further harmonize the wine, giving us a graceful wine, which belongs at the table and will potentially age for many years.


Winemaker Notes

Barrel fermented and barrel aged in mostly neutral French oak, about 10% new oak. No Malolactic fermentation.

Winemaker/Founder David Jeffrey

After 20 years of studying and collecting wines of Bordeaux and California, David moved to the West Coast and enrolled in Fresno State’s Enology program in 2001. Determined to make his dream a reality, David spent 3 and a half years studying winemaking and grape growing as he completed his degree and worked at Chateau Quinault in Bordeaux, France.

 

About the Winery
Calluna Vineyards
His love for classically styled wines began with the Old World Wine Regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy but were solidified after drinking stunning examples from Napa Valley, Sonoma County and the Santa Cruz Mountains. The desire to create a winery of his own led David to change careers in 2001 at the age of 44 and enroll in Fresno State’s Oenology and Viticulture program. 2 years later he found himself working in the cellar at Chateau Quinault l’Enclos in St Emilion for Dr. Alain Raynaud.
