Big Basin Vineyards is terraced into a steep hillside first planted to grapevines by French immigrants more than 100 years ago. Our farm, together with our carefully chosen partner vineyards, are all situated in the Santa Cruz and Gabilan Mountains at locations that are both breathtaking and superb for grape growth. We cultivate our land organically, time our harvests to capture power and grace and make our wines with the least amount of intervention possible. The creation of aromatic, airy wines that plainly and honestly convey terroir and variation is our aim.
Bradley is our founder, vineyard manager, and guide, uncompromising in his commitment to producing authentic and compelling wines, farming organically, and working with the best vineyard sites throughout the Santa Cruz and Gabilan Mountains.
