Phelan Farm

San Luis Obispo Pinot and rare European varieties with prestige critic recognition.

Phelan Farm operates in San Luis Obispo County, where the Central Coast's maritime influence and diurnal temperature swings shape distinctive wines. The winery works with Pinot Noir, Poulsard, and other cool-climate varieties—grapes that thrive in the region's moderate conditions and demand precision in the cellar. Autrement, a blend of Pinot Noir, Mondeuse Noire, and Gamay, represents the winery's approach to Burgundian-style composition. Poulsard, a delicate Jura varietal, and Misturado de Cambria, which marries Mencia and Trousseau, further signal an engagement with lesser-known European grapes suited to the Central Coast's terroir. These wines have been assessed by Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Falstaff.
