Saintsbury Winery, located in Napa Valley’s Carneros region, is renowned for its pioneering role in producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, making it a cornerstone in the California wine scene since its founding in 1981. The winery remains family-owned and dedicated to sustainable farming, focusing on small-lot wines that reflect the unique terroir of their carefully selected vineyards. Their winemaking philosophy balances decades of experience with a spirit of exploration, ensuring both quality and innovation in every bottle.

Saintsbury Winery was founded in 1981 by UC Davis graduates David Graves and Richard Ward. At the time, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay were relatively uncommon in the Carneros region, but their focus on these varietals helped to transform the region into a hub for world-class wines. With a commitment to producing elegant and balanced wines that express the true character of Carneros, Saintsbury remains a leading producer to this day, driven by the vision of its founders.

Saintsbury sources grapes from various vineyards, including its estate in Carneros and other sustainably farmed sites across the region. Carneros’ cool climate, influenced by the San Pablo Bay, is perfect for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, offering a unique terroir of clay loam soils and marine influence that produces wines with excellent balance, structure, and acidity. Each vineyard is crucial in delivering distinctive flavors and complexity to the wines. Learn more about the vineyards here.
Saintsbury’s winemaking philosophy is centered on minimal intervention and allowing the natural character of the grapes and terroir to shine. Grapes are hand-harvested, and each lot is fermented separately, allowing for precision and control in expressing the distinct qualities of each vineyard and vintage. The use of small-lot fermentation, gentle pressing, and careful barrel aging ensures wines of exceptional balance, complexity, and elegance. The process is a meticulous blend of traditional and modern techniques to produce wines that are true reflections of their origin. Learn more about the winemaking process here.
This attention to detail across every aspect of production has earned Saintsbury a reputation for producing consistently high-quality wines that honor the traditions of the Carneros region while also pushing boundaries through innovation.
