Monterey Area Wineries
At Galante Vineyards our philosophy is simple: grow the finest grapes possible and let the fruit express itself in the wine. Since all of our grapes are estate grown, each bottle of wine we produce embodies the characteristics of our unique region, exhibiting the natural flavors that are born from the land.
We produce very limited quantities of Estate Bottled 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from two single vineyards, Red Rose Hill and Blackjack Pasture. We also produce our Rancho Galante from a blend of Cabernet grapes from several of our other vineyard parcels. In addition, we produce extremely limited quantities of Merlot, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Petit Sirah. Our philosophy is to grow the finest grapes possible and let them speak for themselves through the wine. Several factors influence the quality of the grapes grown at our vineyards. Due to the extreme daily temperature variations in Cachagua (upper Carmel Valley), the growing season is very long with harvest normally occurring in mid October. This long "hang time" causes the grapes to ripen slowly, intensifying their rich berry flavors. We also thin the crop to an average of two tons per acre providing a low yield of very high quality grapes. We do not use pesticides or herbicides in the vineyards and only irrigate when needed. These methods, and others, combine to produce the highest quality grapes
Galante Vineyards Tasting Room
Come visit our Wine Tasting Room and Western Emporium in beautiful Carmel-by-the-Sea. Located off Dolores between Ocean and Seventh Ave., Galante Vineyards has opened its doors to Carmels first "Wine Tasting Room." We cordially invite you and your guests to stop by to say "hi" and to taste our Carmel Valley Estate wines.
Galante Vineyards has always had a very simple philosophy: grow the finest grapes and let the fruit express itself in the wine. This approach has won Galante a reputation for producing some of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc in Monterey County.
The Galante family has a long history in Carmel. It was around 1900 that Jack Galante's Great Grandfather, J. Frank Devendorf, discovered the white sands of Carmel Beach. With a dream in mind, he and his partner Frank Powers created the town of Carmel. We look forward to honoring this family legacy and to continuing to make history in Carmel with our Wine Tasting Room.
