Great wine is made from the ground up.

At Ellanelle, winemaking is in not only in our blood, it’s in our soil. The Brown family has been farming this valley for three generations, and after ten years of growing wine grapes, we’ve decided it’s time to take the leap and make a wine of our own. With Len in the vineyard and me keeping the books, we believe hard work means getting your hands dirty, especially when the dirt is so good. And so we have ventured forth with our first vintage – a New World Cabernet we think is sublime. We’ll see if you agree.
