Cambria Description

 

Cambria

 

Estate Vineyard & Winery

 

Cambria Estate is a family-owned winery, led by Sisters and Proprietors Katie and Julia Jackson.  Located in the coastal Santa Maria Bench in Santa Barbara County, Cambria wines faithfully express the unique stamp of one of the finest cool-climate crus in California.

 

All grapes from our Estate Vineyards are certified under the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance and Sustainability in Practice.

 

For 30 years, the Jackson family has sustainably farmed and passionately tended our remarkable Santa Maria estate.  Barbara Banke and Jess Jackson’s daughters, Katie Jackson and Julia Jackson, grew up among these vines.  Drawn to the grit and beauty of winemaking, Katie and Julia continue the family business.  Together with Barbara Banke’s keen knowledge of the industry and incredible business sense, Katie’s passion for sustainability and the land, and Julia’s creative backbone and dedication to empowering communities, the women of Cambria shape who we are today.

 

Vineyard Family

 

The men and women of Cambria have over 200 years of experience cultivating this land and crafting our inspiring wines.  For three decades, Cambria winemaker Denise Shurtleff has been honing her ability as a vine whisperer, creating Santa Maria Valley wines that showcase the nuance of the region.  Matt Mahoney, Vineyard Manager and Patrick Huguenard, Vineyard Director are natives of this valley where they farmed the soil on family ranches from a young age.  Now, along with the rest of the Cambria family, they oversee the care of the precious benchland and tend to the rows of grapes stretching across the plateau, warmed by the lingering afternoon sun.

 

Estate

 

Where the foothills rise up from the valley floor on the Santa Maria Bench sits Cambria Estate Winery.  Family-owned, sustainably-farmed, and passionately tended by a team proud to be stewards of this remarkable property, each wine bearing the Cambria name is grown, produced and bottled on the estate.

 

Winemaking & Viticulture

 

Diversity is essential to the complexity of our wines.  Vineyard Managers Matt Mahoney and Pat Hugenard will be quick to tell you that wine is made in the vineyard, and the Cambria team is foremost a team of farmers, hands in the dirt.  The grapes grown here are bursting with vibrant acidity and ripe fruit flavors.  Winemaker Denise Shurtleff showcases their character through her unique winemaking style, letting the grapes tell Cambria’s story – the bench elevating the vines above the valley floor, the crushed seashells in the alluvial soils, the fog that creeps in off the ocean at night.
