About False Bay Vineyards

False Bay Vineyards was founded in 1994 by Paul Boutinot with a mission to make 'real' wine affordable by rescuing grapes from old, underappreciated vineyards. The winery produces naturally crafted wines using wild yeast ferments and minimal intervention techniques, with Cellar Master Nadia Langenegger overseeing three distinct ranges of sustainably farmed coastal wines.
