For more than a decade now, we have enjoyed the honor of handcrafting our small lot wines in the fourth oldest continuously operating winery in California, the historic Novitiate Winery (pronounced no-vish-ut) in downtown Los Gatos.

In 1997, a new renaissance was born at the old winery. That year, we Jensen, moved our then four year old fledgling, barely known wine brand, Testarossa, to the old Novitiate, where they made just under 4,000 cases of small lot Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Every year since, we have invested in repairing and improving the once old and neglected facility and every year, our wines have gotten more and more consistently outstanding. In 2003, in conjunction with our 10th anniversary, the old Tasting Room underwent a major restoration, and is now open to the public seven days per week. Demand for Testarossa wines has never been higher, but the temptation to dramatically ramp up production, at the expense of quality, has never been a consideration. By 2009, our wine production has crept up to approximately 15,000 cases with more than half of the annual production being sold directly from the winery.

Please come and enjoy the rich Novitiate Winery history display in the entrance cave to the winery and come in to taste a wide arrange of our limited production wines.
