New winery home to highly acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir producer
ST. HELENA, CA – Mark and Teresa Aubert have announced the purchase of a new winery, located at 333 Silverado Trail in Calistoga, California, to house Aubert Wines. Aubert Wines produces Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from single vineyard sites in the Napa Valley, Carneros and the Sonoma Coast appellations. The Auberts will start moving into the 8,000 square foot winery in January 2011.
“Teresa and I have dreamed of establishing a permanent home for our winery for 11 years, and we’re thrilled that it’s finally coming true,” said winemaker and owner Mark Aubert. “Over the last 27 years, I’ve had the privilege of working at and consulting with well-known wineries throughout Napa and Sonoma Valley. I’m excited to bring all these experiences to our own winery in Calistoga, a perfect spot for us as it is centrally located between our key vineyard sites in Napa and Sonoma.”
An extensive remodeling of the production and visitor area is planned for late summer 2011 in preparation for the first harvest in the new winery. Aubert customers will have their first-ever opportunity to visit the winery in late fall 2011.
About Aubert Wines
Aubert Wines was founded in 1999 by Mark and Teresa Aubert. The winery started with just one Chardonnay and a dream of one day owning multiple estate vineyards and a winery. Now Aubert Wines has six different single vineyard Chardonnays and five Pinot Noir wines, and owns three estate vineyards in the Napa Valley and Sonoma Coast appellations. Aubert makes wine only from vineyards with the rarest clonal selections, from either their estate-owned vineyards or their contracts with the best growers in the Napa Valley, Carneros and Sonoma Coast regions. Aubert wines are sold direct to the consumer via their Mailing List, and to select restaurant accounts represented by distributors across the United States. Even in this current economic time, Aubert maintains a waiting list for those who would like to purchase their wines. Mark Aubert has served as winemaker and winemaking consultant at some of the most prestigious wineries in both the Napa Valley and Sonoma County, including Peter Michael, Sloan, Colgin, Bryant and Futo.
