Maintaining total control over every facet of production has been the Villicana's passion from the start. The purpose of planting the vineyard was to achieve consistency and quality in fruit by utilizing estate fruit. Alex is solely responsible for everything from farming the vineyard to bringing in the harvest, to crushing the grapes, to the actual wine making process. He and Monica even pour the wines every weekend in the tasting room.

The year 1999 represents an important milestone for the winery. As of this vintage, the Villicanas are finally able to crush their estate grown fruit. Villicana Winery currently produces fewer than 2,000 cases and is planned to top out at 5,000 cases. Alex and Monica's plan is to stay small so they can really focus on continually increasing quality and generating powerful small-lot wines.

So, when people ask them how they got into the business, they look at their newly constructed winery and smile. Basically, what started as a small, unimaginable dream has turned into their reality and continues to be their labor of love.

Please come be a part of the dream.

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.
