Onesta

Mediterranean varieties from Lodi's storied vineyard sites.

Onesta produces wines from Lodi, California's historic Central Valley region, where old-vine vineyards and warm days create conditions for ripe, structured fruit. The winery focuses on Mediterranean varieties, drawing from Bechthold Vineyard for its Cinsault—both a dry red and a rosé that showcase the grape's bright acidity and mineral character. A Grenache Blanc rounds out the portfolio, offering the white-wine expression of another southern Rhône classic. Wine Enthusiast has rated these releases, with the Bechthold Cinsault and rosé leading the range. Lodi's reputation for Zinfandel and old-vine character extends to these less common varieties, where Onesta finds expression in wines built on balance rather than extraction.
