The Family

 

Welcome to Ceja

Vineyards. Each day as we gaze at the surrounding vineyards, we are

reminded of the first Ceja vine. Planting our first vine together in rich

Carneros soil was an exciting moment. That vine symbolized our bond

as a family and strengthened our shared commitment to produce

premium wines. We proudly continue a three-generation tradition of

growing choice grapes in the beautiful Napa and Sonoma Valleys. We

invite you to join us on our journey.

 

As you explore our website you'll see, repeated often, a bell with the

Latin inscription: vinum (wine), cantus (song), and amor (love). In

Mexico, church bells ring to reveal the time, announce community

celebrations or call parishioners to church. We have adopted the bell

as our trademark, and symbolically ring it now to invite you to become

a part of Ceja Vineyards.

 

Learn about (and purchase!) our wines by selecting the Buy Wine

page and reading descriptions of our Pinot Noir, Chardonnay,

Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Vino de

Casa (a red blend and a white blend) we're producing today. Meet our

family when you read Our Family Story.

 

Learn about vineyard locations by perusing the map on our Vineyards

page. We'd love to hear from you. Give us a ring or send us an email

by choosing the Contact Us page. You can even join the Casa Ceja

Wine Club. Join us for dinner when you print out one of our favorite

recipes on the Recipes page.

 

¡Salud!

The cool

Carneros climate allows our grapes to remain on the vine longer,

achieving high acidity and ultimate flavor development. We tend our

vines diligently and wait for the exact moment when full maturation

has been reached before harvesting.

 

Minimal interference is needed during crushing. Fruit is handled gently

during the wine making process and we select the best yeast strains

to carry out the fermentation. New French and American oak barrels

do not overpower the fruit, yet provide the perfect environment for

aging.

 

The grapes speak for themselves, expressing full flavor, resulting in

wines that are crisp, with a hint of the tropics and depth of character.

 

As a family of growers, we are so proud of our grapes; we wish we

could bottle them right from the vine.

 

 

 

Terroir, (pronounced tair wahr), is a French term and strictly translated

refers to the earth. In the Carneros Region, the term is defined as a s

pecial set of conditions encompassing all the components that affect t

he grapes grown here. The soil's chemistry and physical structure, the

slope and orientation of the hills and valleys and the weather are all

factors of terroir.

Located approximately 40

miles northeast of San Francisco, the Carneros Region's moderate

climate is created by fog, moist air, and cool breezes from the Pacific

Ocean. Protected from harsh weather by the Coastal Range, Carneros

summer days are warm with cool nights and winters are mild. As a

result, grapes stay on the vine longer, reaching high acidity and full

flavor development.

 

At Ceja Vineyards, we match vines to terroir, planting each variety

where it grows best. Our wines are a true reflection of their origins.

"The beauty and mysticism of wine is

that its basic elements - grapes and

wild yeast - converge naturally to

make itself. Our job as farmers and

winemakers is simply to assist Mother

Nature."

~Pedro Ceja
