History

The single-acre estate vineyard was planted in 1990. Around 700 closely spaced, dry farmed Pinot Noir vines produce up to 6 barrels a year of the Clos Tita Estate. Other wines are made from purchased fruit, including the "Cuvee" Pinot Noir which includes fruit sourced from Branciforte Ridge and the "Gironde" Bordeaux blend, sourced from various other vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains.. There is no tasting at the winery, but Dave usually pours his wines at Michael's On Mainfor Passport weekends and the Vintners' Festival. 'Tita' is Britta Estrada's nickname.
