We strive for whole cluster fermentation. We farm with a focus of ripening the stems alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with our beautiful SRH fruit.
This bottling is comprised of 100% estate pinot noir from four vineyards within the AVA. 3D, Machado, Acin and Hapgood all contribute to the wine which exhibits a drive, richness and pedigree expressive of our special growing area coupled with the purity of fruit and firm structure which have been the trademark of Brewer – Clifton.
Founded in 1995 by Greg Brewer, one of the founding fathers of the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. The wines are made from Estate grown fruit with rocky, maritime based soils. The specialties are chardonnay and pinot noir using 100% whole cluster. Brewer Clifton is proudly a sustainable vineyard using organic farming. Greg Brewer was awarded winemaker of the year in 2020 for Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

Complex and powerfully structured, with vibrant acidity backing dried red fruit and berry flavours. Fine-textured, with a rich savouriness.
