Cave B Wines

A Natural Philosophy

The winemaking philosophy shared by the winemaker is one of natural, minimal-interventionist production. Cave B and SageCliffe wines are made without the use of enzymes, and no addition of sugar (chaptalization) or acid (acidulation) is ever employed in the winemaking process. The wines are made from only the grapes themselves, along with yeast cultures and nutrients. The purity of the wine produced is the winery's hallmark and it is precisely this element which maximizes the expression of the SageCliffe terroir.

Cave B Estate Winery bottles its wine under two premium labels: CAVE B and SAGECLIFFE. The grapes for each are cultivated in the 30 Cave B Estate Vineyards, yet through careful grape selection and specialized winemaking techniques, the same varietals are made uniquely distinct, common only in their award-winning character.

Tasting notes are a tremendous way to 'get to know' each Cave B and SageCliffe wine. Read tasting notes on each wine from our Winemaker in our online store: Click on the bottles to display.
