A JOSEPH J.D. FRANZIA FAMILY-OWNED PORTFOLIO BRANDNAPA, CA.A FAMILY TRADITION SINCE 1893

Our wines · Lodi, California

Three grapes, one table.

Made for meals, conversation, and company.

Cellared and bottled in Lodi, California, each award-winning Montpellier wine begins with carefully chosen grapes from a premium appellation among rolling oak meadows. Through attentive farm practices, we wait for the optimal grape — peak phenolics, ripe flavor, and fresh structure — then harvest at night to preserve the perfect moment in every bottle.

Lodi · a premium grape appellation

We make room for the right moment.

Our grapes are farmed with care in Lodi, a premium grape appellation for fine California wines, guided by the character of each site rather than a fixed formula. When the fruit reaches its optimal balance of color, aroma, flavor, and phenolics, our teams harvest in the cool night air. It is a small window — and the beginning of every award-winning perfect moment wine.
