Estate-Grown Wines

We craft our wines in small lots, producing approximately 1,500 cases of each varietal annually. As a family-owned winery, our scale allows us to focus on thoughtful winemaking, careful attention to detail, and quality in every bottle rather than volume.

Rooted in the Vineyard

For more than four decades, the Ponte family has farmed vineyards in the heart of Temecula Wine Country, caring for nearly 300 acres of vines with a long-term commitment to quality and stewardship. Every season in the vineyard shapes the wines we craft, from the first signs of budbreak to harvest. It’s a hands-on approach that reflects our belief that great wine begins long before it reaches the cellar.

Commitment to Sutainability

Sustainability is part of how we farm, grow, and welcome guests every day. As a Certified California Sustainable Winegrowing winery since 2011, we take thoughtful steps to care for the land through responsible vineyard practices, water conservation, composting programs, and wildlife habitat preservation.

Grape Sales

For more than 40 years, the Ponte family has cultivated vineyards in Temecula Valley with a focus on quality fruit and sustainable farming practices. We offer a selection of premium wine grapes grown across our estate vineyards, providing winemakers with fruit that reflects the character of the region. From vine to harvest, every block is carefully managed to deliver consistency and quality.
