Only neutral barrels are employed. We strive for whole cluster fermentation. We farm with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with our beautiful Sta. Rita Hills fruit. We often use the analogy of roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavors very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.

Founded in 1995 by Greg Brewer, one of the founding fathers of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. The wines are made from Estate grown fruit with rocky, maritime based soils. The specialties are chardonnay and pinot noir using 100% whole cluster. Brewer Clifton is proudly a sustainable vineyard using organic farming. Greg Brewer was awarded winemaker of the year in 2020 for Wine Enthusiast Magazine.
