Hillcrest Terrace winemaking is strongly influenced by the style and character of fine European wines that pair extremely well with food. The wines are generally made from carefully-selected grapes grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We work closely with the growers to secure fruit that will produce a well-balanced wine true to the variety and without excessive alcohol. Absolutely minimal cellar handling is used to preserve the full character and complexity that the grapes can provide. Racking and bottling schedules do not follow rigid timelines, but are adopted to fit the development of each wine. For example, some Chardonnays may have extended lees and oak barrel aging, while others may be unoaked and racked early, depending on the grape characteristics and the wine profiles as they evolve. Top-quality oak barrels are used judiciously so that oak flavors are never pronounced and at most provide a subtle background to the intrinsic aroma and flavor profile of the wine. We do not fine or filter our wines. The wines are exposed minimally to air during production and aging, and they can be expected to continue to improve with several years of bottle aging, though all Hillcrest Terrace wines can be drunk with pleasure on release.
