Victor Robaglia loves crafting Bordeaux wines in Santa Ynez

Send us Fan MailNestled in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley is Brave and Maiden Estate, named after a Romeo and Juliet type legend that was passed down by the Americans native to the area. Victor Robaglia is the head wine maker at Brave and Maiden and overseas a program of Bordeaux varietals which he crafts in partnership with the unique Santa Ynez terroir. Despite having French parents, Victor has an extremely international narrative, being born in Canberra and having done vintages in South Africa and the USA. Victor was attracted to Santa Barbara given the unique terroir and the exciting possibilities it presented. Victor invited me out to the winery where he educated me on Santa Ynez and all thing Brave and Maiden. A huge thanks to Victor for joining me. Support the show
