GREAT wines...

At ampelos, we are firm believers in the old adage that the “wine is made in the vineyard”.

Our estate vineyard has been planted with those varietals that will showcase the location, soils and climate at our site and we are thrilled that those best suited to ampelos vineyard are those grapes which are our favorites!

The varietals we have planted are Pinot Noir, Syrah, Grenache and Viognier, based on extensive clone diversity to provide us our “spice cabinet”.

In addition to wines from our estate grapes, we continue to produce wines from fruit from some of our favorite vineyards - our neighbor in Sta. Rita Hills, FiddleStix for Pinot Noir, Alisos for Syrah and Grenache, Cuatro Vientos in Santa Ynez Valley for Viognier and our rosé of Syrah, Evergreen for Viognier and Vigna Cesaria for Viognier.
