“Proprietor and winemaker John Benedetti is producing noteworthy wines for his Sante Arcangeli that seem to get better each year. The style is quite giving and gourmand, finding its perfect foil in the high-altitude Split Rail Vineyard perched at 1,700 feet in Corralitos, a site planted in the late 1980s that’s become the source of Sante Arcangeli’s flagship bottling. Serious and meticulous, Benedetti is establishing himself as one of the rising stars of the Santa Cruz Mountains.”  — Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

After a brief hiatus, we are now accepting a limited number of new private label clients at our Aromas facility. We choose to focus on those clients who are quality-oriented and want to produce exceptional wines only. Our minimum is 5 tons of fruit per client. If you’re interested, please email jb@santewinery.com .

Benefits of having us make your wines:

• Extreme attention to detail with the wines.
• All-inclusive pricing with no hidden charges.
• “Winemaking Consultation” is not an additional charge. You get John Benedetti as your winemaker if you want a winemaker. You can also call the shots if you like and we will execute your work orders for you.
• Innovint cellar software gives detailed information about wines-in-progress and facilitates work orders.
• Long track record of success. Every red wine and 99% of whites that we’ve submitted to major critics has scored above 90.
• Much more affordable than running your own winery facility.
• Small, hands-on facility built solely to produce quality wines in a handcrafted way.
• Two-person cellar team (John Benedetti and one assistant) working directly with you.
• We’re not assholes.
