STANFORD HILLS WINES
Discover Stanford's Vinicultural Brilliance
Stanford is an emerging wine production area with remarkable potential. The proximity of Stanford Hills Estate to the coast ensures it benefits from cool sea breezes during the hotter months, allowing the grapes to ripen gently and at an optimal pace. Winemaker Peter Kastner believes that exceptional wine starts in the vineyard, attributing the Estate’s high-quality wines to the region’s unique soil and climate. All grapes used are grown on the farm and hand-picked to ensure only the finest quality for their annual wine production.
The farm’s inaugural Méthode Cap Classique is now available. The cellar, a modest yet functional space situated within an airplane hangar on the farm, reflects Peter’s philosophy of minimal intervention. This approach allows the grapes to fully express their unique character and identity.
