About Sylvie Estate
Sylvie Estate, established in 2010 by Henry and Christina Lopez along with Brian Atwood, is located in the Vaca Mountains of Napa Valley. The Lopez family initially purchased the land in 1989 and began planting Cabernet Sauvignon vines, which are now certified organic. The vineyard, known as Lopez Vineyard, has undergone multiple replantings, with a focus on quality winemaking.
The estate's winemaking journey began in 1994 when Henry and Brian made wine at home. They later partnered with winemaker Kurt Niznik, who was succeeded by Sally Johnson in 2023. The wines are crafted at Tamber Bey Winery in Calistoga, where limited tastings are offered.
Sylvie Estate is situated in a premium vineyard area near notable wineries and is characterized by iron-rich soils. The winemaking approach emphasizes minimal intervention, with extended maceration and careful canopy management to achieve optimal ripeness. Their production is small, typically yielding only 60 to 100 cases annually, and wines are primarily sold direct to consumers. The estate's name honors Christina's mother, Sylvi Rintanen, and reflects their commitment to quality and sustainability.
