Welcome to the website of Selene Wines, a tiny producer of hand-crafted Napa Valley wines. Selene's wines are the personal winemaking expression of Mia Klein, a consulting winemaker.

Selene's output is exclusively focused on the Bordeaux varietals that thrive in great Napa Valley vineyards. Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc have been produced since 1991. Cabernet Sauvignon and a Cabernet Franc based Red Wine (Chesler) have been produced since 2002.

With each release, Selene's goal has been to capture forward fruit flavors and vibrancy from the vineyard, and use minimalist winemaking techniques to frame the wines with extremely supple textures. The resulting wines are food-friendly. They are open and accessible upon release, and yet they have the necessary balance and complexity to enhance either home cooking or haute cuisine.Mailing list members receive first notice of new releases, and get the first, and often exclusive opportunity to purchase very limited special releases, such as Selene's highly anticipated new Rosé Wine, Dead Fred Cabernet Sauvignon and Chesler. Selene Wines is my personal label. I do some consulting and wine making for other wineries, but Selene is my personal expression.

Selene's first vintage was the 1991 Napa Valley Merlot, followed by the 1992 Hyde Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc. Both were released in 1993. The addition of a Cabernet Sauvignon and ‘Chesler’ (a Cabernet Franc based Red Wine) began with the 2002 vintage.
Currently, the wines are made at the Laird Family Estate, a Napa custom crush facility that specializes in servicing the wine making needs of micro wineries like Selene. At Laird I can do what I love most, which is the day-to-day work of making wine, and keep all my assets liquid, literally.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
