Grapes - Gali Vineyards

Estate Grown

Our passion for winegrowing and crafting elegant wines is grounded in honest farming. We work with people that we trust and who bring decades of experience to the process. Joseph was inspired to plant his vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains — the birthplace of pinot noir. We grow five different grape varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Tempranillo and Albariño. As we approach harvest each year, the grapes are tasted almost daily to optimize flavor and maturity. The vines are hand-harvested and sorted directly in the field. From our vineyard in Corralitos, the grapes are transported to a nearby custom crush facility where our estate wine is produced. Two to four years later, our wine is ready to be enjoyed in our Tasting Room in downtown Los Gatos.
