STEVE CLIFTON
Steve began his own wine production with Palmina in 1995, dedicated solely to Italian grape varietals. At the same time he formed a partnership with Greg Brewer and founded Brewer-Clifton producing exclusively Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA. Both wineries have garnered international acclaim and accolades. Now primarily focused on Italian blends at Vega, he occassionally gets access to stellar fruit and will release those wines under the eponymous Steve Clifton label.
