To make great wine it is essential to employ the most gentle of methods in the winemaking process and to handle the wine with the utmost care and attention.

Calera’s one-of-a-kind, multi-level (7 tier), gravity-flow winery built into the side of a mountain allows wines to be moved in the gentlest possible way, by the natural force of gravity. This, along with Calera’s other non-interventionist techniques, such as the use of native yeasts, whole cluster fermentations and minimal racking, insures the bottled wines express all of the natural greatness of their vineyard origins.
