winemaking
Ascension Cellars offers premium, terroir-driven wines with a strong commitment to sustainable farming practices in the heart of California's Central Coast
Our love of French Rhône and Bordeaux wines influence every wine we craft. We believe in a limited, light-handed approach to winemaking, allowing the true typicity of each varietal and the terroir of the vineyard to shine through as the star of each vintage, preserving the wine’s link to its place of origin
