The Brander Vineyard - Fabian Bravo

The Brander Vineyard, in the Los Olivos District AVA of Santa Barbara County, focuses on Bordeaux varieties. It was planted in 1975. The first wine was produced in 1977 and it was Sauvignon Blanc. Today, Brander releases approximately 6/8 different Sauvignon Blanc offerings in any given vintage. Brander Sauvignon Blancs are known to age well given their high acidity, balanced alcohol, and quality fruit. Brander also produces other Bordeaux varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Gris, and Semillon.Fabian and his wife also have their own small label, Casita de Bravo, currently producing around 350 cases.
