The Winery:
Bistué Cellars was born out of passion for exploring different wine regions and creating cool and remarkable wines. It all started in 2014 as a fun side project by winemaker Carolina Bistué and her family, but soon became a core part of the Bistué’s Wine Bridge portfolio. After earning her Masters
in Viticulture and Enology at UC Davis, Carolina Bistué worked at La Perla del Priorat in D.O.Q. Priorat, Spain and at Paul Hobbs’ Viña Cobos in Mendoza, Argentina. Carolina believes in minimal-intervention winemaking and that great wines start in the vineyard. The care of the vines should focus on allowing them to express their terroir.
