We believe that great wine is made in the vineyard, so a significant amount of energy is focused there. Montemar sources all its fruit from top vineyards in Santa Barbara County by leasing specific blocks and controlling all aspects of farming. We have been doing this for quite some time and some of the vineyard blocks have been under their control for over 15 years.
As a vineyard-driven winery, the winemaking process is very meticulous but does not vary widely within varietal so the distinctiveness of each wine is attributable to the vineyard source and year. Steve and Caryn Arrowood owners and winemakers of Montemar started making wine in their garage in 1991, sourcing fruit from Santa Barbara County to Napa and making upwards of 14 barrels a year.

Report
By sourcing fruit from multiple vineyards across Santa Barbara County's varying microclimates, we're able to ensure the fruit is grown in the perfect environment for those varietals and the distinctiveness of each wine is attributable to the specific vineyard source and year.
Also, as the fruit ripens at different points throughout the harvest period, we are able to take our time sorting on-the-vine and/or at the winery and destemming the small volumes coming from any particular vineyard.
