Winemaking Style

La Crema's location in the Russian River Valley is ideal for producing wines of uncompromising elegance and balance. To achieve this goal, several unique steps take place in getting fruit from the vineyards to the bottle.

It begins in the vineyard, where careful canopy management and hand harvesting assure fully ripe, undamaged grapes are brought to the winery.

At the winery, artisan winemaking techniques result in handcrafted wines of distinctive flavor, elegance and balance.
