These values have guided us for over 28 years. Our wines and the entire Wiens’ Cellars team uphold those standards, offering a unique narrative of the winemaking journey and our distinctive terroir.
The legacy of Wiens lives on, bigger and better than ever before.
Since planting our first vines by hand in 1996, we have continually managed all of our own vineyards.
Our goal of producing world-class wines would be lost without the singular idea that great wine begins in the vineyard. Starting with roughly 10 acres of land and expanding to nearly 100 acres, this growth has motivated us to perfect our craft. New soil and new growing environments influence our constant experimentation and drive our passion.
For over 20 years, our relationship with the land has grown into an even more profound respect for our unique terroir & all that it offers. The Temecula Valley supports a rich diversity of soil types and vineyard settings. Our La Cresta Vineyard, for example, sits at a higher elevation where cool maritime morning breezes ensure slower ripening of the fruit and delicious, varietal expression. Vineyards on the valley floor are subject to higher summer temperatures, resulting in richer, deeper, and more concentrated fruit.
This luxury, specific to Southern California, allows us to create wines that offer you the best of both worlds.
