Everyone has their own reason, but for Jeffrey O'Neill and Laurence Vosti the path to the production of XTANT has been varied and circuitous.

Jeffrey O'Neill is the third generation of a winemaking family, and has been in the wine business for all of his adult life. Until recently, he was president and CEO of the fourth largest winemaker in the United States. Jeff is chairman Emeritus of the Wine Institute.

Laurence Vosti has had an interest in wine since attending school in the Bordeaux region of France. Along the way, in addition to his real estate development, he has owned a restaurant, a retail wine business and has been a collector of fine California and French wines for over 20 years. Larry is former President of the California Vintage Wine Society.

Our goal is to get the most out of the fruit without going too far.

We want a rich, concentrated elegant wine. We select the right vineyards and use the most delicate winemaking practices. We age our wines in tight-grained French Oak barrels for 30 months for a more elegant and rich extraction.

Winemaker: Jeff Gaffner

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.
