Sunset in the vineyard at Martellotto Winery Happy Canyon Vineyard

Award Winning California Wine from Santa Barbara County

Expertly Crafted. Distinctly Original.

The old world informs Greg's motivation to make wines that speak of a unique vineyard in California. Greg loves wines that have a vibrant acidity combined with bright fruit and that intangible, hard to pinpoint X factor. Mass produced wines that are squeaky clean and uniform are less interesting. Starting with healthful and sustainably farmed grapes, Greg combines creative fermentation techniques with an artistic blending prior to bottling to produce wines that are distinctive and delicious. Greg’s intention is to make remarkable wines of consequence, consistency, value, and varietal expression. Several of the wines are sourced from organic vineyards and produced with native yeast fermentations. Martellotto wines are allocated, bottle numbered, vineyard designate wines and a pleasure to share. We invite you to explore each of our wines and find the ones that "speak" to you:

"Dusty garnet color. Bright, baked, fruity aromas of cherry compote, beet relish, and olive tapenade with a supple, crisp, dryish medium body and a polished, interesting, medium-length candied roasted yams, black raspberry pie, spice, and cedar finish with fine, crunchy, well-integrated tannins and light oak.

"Dusty ruby color. Delicate, attractive, fresh fruity aromas of blueberry cobbler a la mode, vanilla custard, and cedar with a silky, vibrant, dryish medium body and a tingling, involved, medium-long black raspberry jam, toffee, and sweet tobacco finish with chewy tannins and light oak. A lovely, fruity cabernet with snappy acidity and well structured tannins."
