Madroña Vineyards

Madrona Winery ExteriorThe Madrona vineyards spread over high, rolling hills just west of the Sierra Foothill village of Camino. Along with Lava Cap, this winery has the highest elevation of any winery in California. The hot days and coller nights at this height above sea level give the wines produced here intense character. Since 1973, Madrona has produced award winning wines. The winemaker is High Chappelle, and he crafts distinctive wines including Zinfandel, Merlot, Chardonnay, and Gewurztraminer, plus a Mourvedre Rose, and a Chard/Semillon blend. Dessert wines include a Cabernet Port, and a Select Harvest Riesling.

Premium reserve wines include Chardonnay, Zinfandel, Syrah, and a sweet Late Harvest Zinfandel, and although these are excellent premium wines, bottle prices are all at $20 or less.
