Continuing their pursuit of quality in all aspects of the vineyard and cellar, Norman and Traudl have contracted with the Brewer-Clifton viticultural team, who will now farm and manage the vineyard. This premier vineyard team is lead by Francisco Ramirez, with soil consultation from Stan Kadota and sustainability management from Kelley Brophy-Clark. This new farming arrangement will allow Huber wines to reach an even higher level.

Known internationally, as one of the premier producers of Sta.Rita Hills wines, Brewer-Clifton’s involvement ensures that the vineyard is nutritionally sound, that crop levels are correct for the quality level required, and that the harvested grapes are in balance and picked at the optimal time. Norm Huber works closely with the team, both on the harvest for the grapes that are reserved for Huber Cellars wines and for those that are destined for the Brewer-Clifton and diatom labels.

Norman Yost will continue to craft fabulous Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Dornfelder under the Huber Cellars label.
