La Pelle Wines, established in 2016, is a collaboration between three partners with extensive backgrounds in the wine industry: Maayan Koschitzky, Miguel Luna, and Pete Richmond. Koschitzky, a former winemaker at Screaming Eagle, leads the winemaking efforts, while Luna, a respected viticulturist, has been recognized as Viticulturist of the Year. Richmond, who founded Silverado Farming Company, has a strong history in vineyard management and community involvement. The winery focuses on producing terroir-driven wines sourced from premium vineyards they manage, including sites in Coombsville and St. Helena. La Pelle's wine offerings include a Single Vineyard Series, Bien Nacido Series, Napa Valley Series, and a Reserve. Notable wines include a Chardonnay from Bien Nacido Vineyards and a Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the depth and character of Napa Valley fruit. Total production is around 2,000 cases annually, primarily sold directly to consumers through their mailing list. The winery does not typically welcome visitors, emphasizing a direct-to-consumer model for their elegant, thoughtfully crafted wines. For more information, interested parties can visit their website.
