HaGafen Cellars is located in the Napa Valley, in the heart of California's premier wine grape region. Less than a mile south of the famed Stags leap District and twenty yards from the Oak Knoll District--Napa's newest and most exciting of American Viticultural Areas--our well-drained soil is ideal for the growth and production of ripe and rich, intensely fruity small lot estate bottled wines. Owned and operated by Irit and Ernie Weir, the winery was founded in 1979, and the first commercially released vintage was harvested in 1980. In the ensuing years, we have grown from a small partnership producing wine with grapes from Winery Lake Vineyard, then owned by Rene DiRosa, to a well-established wine company whose wines are distributed throughout North America and overseas. |

With its light sunflower hue and green apple, citrus, papaya, and kiwi bouquet, Hagafen Chardonnay presents an integrated, melodious blending of bright apple, apricot, and lemon, with a kiss of toasty oak. With one hundred percent malo-lactic fermentation yet light on the palette, this long-finishing, solidly structured Chardonnay will work wonderfully with a range of fish and lighter game dishes.

Hagafen Pinot Noir is a full-bodied wine with a soft and silky structure coupled with spicy and complex strawberry jam, black cherry, and boysenberry. It finishes with notes of roasted coffee and toasty cocoa. On the nose, this wine shows ripe strawberry and cranberry, followed by roasted coffee, smoky black licorice and fresh, loamy earth.

This Hagafen White Riesling wine is made from organically farmed grapes at the renowned Devoto Vineyards in Lake County, a cool climate perfect for the long-ripening necessary to produce the tropical bouquet and lush mouthfeel this wine displays. This wine presents aromas of citrus, peach, cherry, and honeysuckle. This gorgeous effervescent wine fills the mouth with a fusion of candied pineapple, mango, Satsuma, and a hint of honey. With a long finish, this well-integrated wine works well with a wide variety of foods, including any meal needing an aperitif or a bit of sweetness to balance the use of chiles or soy sauce.
