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 — a cool-climate area where pinot noir vines thrive. We now grow six different grape varietals: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Viognier, 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. Grapes are then transferred into our winemaking facility where they are made into wine, aged and bottled. We sell these estate-produced wines online and in our Tasting Room in downtown Los Gatos.
