About the Winery

Mt. Brave

Nestled in the highlands of Napa Valley, Mt. Brave winery is a captivating spectacle and testament to the rugged terrains of California’s wine country. Known for challenging the norms of viticulture, it soars to new heights, quite literally, with its vineyards perched atop Mount Veeder.

At an elevation spanning 1,400 to 1,800 feet, this daringly positioned vineyard endorses high-altitude farming presenting a unique blend of microclimates, soils, and exposures. Its strikingly intense and complex wines are a direct reflection of such distinctive environments, often referred to as, "extreme viticulture."

Guiding each grape from vine-to-vine, the winemakers at Mt. Brave demonstrate remarkable courage and dedication. They embrace the ultimately unfavourable conditions and harness the remarkable strengths of the site, transforming each challenge into a virtue. Ergo, the mountain fruit they cultivate possesses a rugged elegance that is truly incomparable.

Exemplifying the power and intensity of Mount Veeder, Mt. Brave’s flagship product, is a Cabernet Sauvignon wine lauded for its delineation and depth. The wine's precise balance of fruit, savoury and mineral elements, is a paean to the relentless spirit of the vineyard workers, exposing a different, all the more compelling side of the valley.

Undergoing a transformation in the cellar, every barrel of Mt. Brave's wine is treated with the utmost respect and patience. Each bottle is allowed to age gracefully filtering its intense natural flavour which leaves fans and connoisseurs craving for more.

Mt. Brave is not merely a winery, it’s a profound testament to human determination and the resilience of the natural landscape. A sealed bottle from this vineyard doesn't just contain wine, but encapsulates the spirit, effort, and beauty of the terroir in all its mountainous glory.

Mt. Brave presents a bold journey of both risk and reward; it's a wine that truthfully represents the topography from whence it came. Considering that its roots run deep into a primeval seabed that once blanketed the region it is, without a doubt, proof that extraordinary things invariably arise from tough terrains, indeed!
