Ceja Vineyards is an ultra premium Latino family owned winery in the Napa Valley. It was founded by Amelia, Pedro, Armando and Martha Ceja – Mexican-American immigrants.The Ceja's dedication to sustainable agriculture and the gentle handling of the grapes in the cellar can be tasted in every sip of their award-winning Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, and two Vino de Casa blends.These are estate grown wines that are fabulous by themselves and delicious with your favorite dishes. Try Chardonnay with lightly grilled oysters and salsa de tomatillo, Pinot Noir with ceviche de salmón, Cabernet Sauvignon with chocolates, and Syrah with flan."The cool Carneros climate allows our grapes to remain on the vine longer, achieving high acidity and ultimate flavor development. We tend our vines diligently and wait for the exact moment when full maturation has been reached before harvesting.Minimal interference is needed during crushing. Fruit is handled gently during the wine making process and we select the best yeast strains to carry out the fermentation. New French and American oak barrels do not overpower the fruit, yet provide the perfect environment for aging.The grapes speak for themselves, expressing full flavor, resulting in wines that are crisp, with a hint of the tropics and depth of character.As a family of growers, we are so proud of our grapes; we wish we could bottle them right from the vine."-Armando CejaWinemaker
