About Ampelos Cellars
This Central Coast gem has been crafting minimal-intervention wines since 1999 on their 82-acre Sta. Rita Hills vineyard, and they were literally the first winery in the US to nail the organic, sustainable, and biodynamic trifecta. They're all about letting the land do the talking through eco-conscious farming and winemaking.
