Derose Vineyards
Derose Vineyards operates across California's Central Coast, a region defined by maritime influence and diverse microclimates that suit a wide range of varietals. The winery's portfolio centers on distinctive expressions of Negrette, Cabernet Franc, and Zinfandel—grapes that thrive in the region's temperate conditions. The Miller Family Vineyard Negrette demonstrates the winery's focus on less common varietals, while the Cardillo Vineyard Cabernet Franc and Nick DeRose Sr. Vineyard Zinfandel showcase deeper, more structured profiles. These wines have been evaluated by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate, anchoring the winery's work within established critical frameworks. The Central Coast's cool nights and warm days create the conditions for balanced ripeness and acidity, qualities evident across Derose's range.
