Night Harvesting
While most of the world sleeps, Stephen Vincent often begins our most important work. The cool, quiet hours of the night preserve the freshness and delicate aromatics of the fruit, allowing every cluster to arrive at the winery in pristine condition. At Stephen Vincent, working under the stars isn't a sacrifice—it's a choice. We believe that some of California's finest wines begin in the calm before dawn, when nature offers the perfect conditions to transform exceptional grapes into extraordinary wines.
