In 1975, legendary vintner and pioneer Josh Jensen founded Calera (Spanish for “lime kiln”) high on the majestic slopes of Mt. Harlan in the Gabilan Mountains of California’s Central Coast. In these low-yielding, limestone-rich soils and cool climate, he began planting estate vineyards that are now recognized as some of the New World’s most treasured vineyard sites. We crafted our Viognier Doux in homage to the brilliant, frozen-on-the-vine Icewines that have been produced for centuries from the coldest vineyard sites in the Northern Hemisphere.
