Ana Diogo-Draper
Ana Diogo-Draper produces wines in Amador County, in California's Sierra Foothills. The winery focuses on Iberian varieties—Tempranillo and Touriga Nacional—grapes that thrive in the region's warm, elevated terrain. The Tempranillo stands as the flagship, earning a prestige rating of 93.5, while the Touriga Nacional reaches 93.0. A blend of both varieties, the Touriga-Tempranillo, rounds out the core portfolio at 92.0. Wine Enthusiast and Decanter have both assessed the winery's output. The Sierra Foothills' diurnal temperature swings and well-drained soils suit these Portuguese and Spanish varieties, allowing them to develop structure and depth. Ana Diogo-Draper's commitment to these Old World grapes in a New World setting reflects a deliberate winemaking direction rooted in varietal expression.
