Winemaker Notes
The winemaker, Brad Kitson, has similarly followed an interesting journey to wine. His early career was in high tech however he always sensed a greater calling to the vineyards, and ultimately embarked on a Masters Degree in Viticulture & Enology at the University of California-Davis. Upon completion, Brad spent five years as Assistant Winemaker at renowned winery Farella Vineyard before joining us full time in 2010. Brad has created a trademark style for our wines rooted in traditional methods with the desire to let the terroir of the grape exist front and center.
At the beginning, Domaine Georg Rafael wines were marketed to a narrow audience almost exclusively within the hotel industry and never sought press or ratings. However, today Brad and Marc Rafael have taken on the task of bringing the wines to a broader audience of wine loving aficionados. They currently have distribution in close to fifteen states across the United States, as well as Thailand, China, Taiwan, the Philippines, India and the UK. These exciting steps represent a thrilling new chapter in truly establishing Domaine Georg Rafael wines globally, all the while upholding our principle to under promise & over deliver in every respect of how they engage in the world of wine.
