Quixote is a boutique gem in the Stags Leap District, producing just 2,000 cases annually. The legacy of Quixote and its sought-after wines are above all, how Winemaking chief Philippe Melka and Estate Winemaker B.R. Smith looks to stay true to the vineyard and let the wines express the true meaning of the Stags Leap Appellation terroir. Their unique vineyard has four distinct soil types and both east and west facing slopes giving us wines of great balance and complexity.
Quixote grapes are both picked and sorted by hand from small picking bins instead of large 1/2 tons bins that can crush the grapes under their own weight. Any grapes with flaws are discarded to ensure the best quality and flavors.
