St. Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery

About Winery: St. Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery was started in 1982 when the Skalli family purchased two plots of land which would become their Winery and Dollarhide Vineyards. St. Supéry is a 100% Estate Grown, sustainably farmed winery located in the renowned Rutherford growing region in the heart of Napa Valley. The Rutherford conditions are ideal for their red Bordeaux varieties, which are used for their estate red blend, Élu, as well as their Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The oldest vines at Dollarhide Estate produce the full-bodied, robust Cabernet Sauvignon and distinctive Sauvignon Blanc wines upon which St. Supéry’s reputation was built.
