Owners Rob and Diana Jensen work closely with Director of Winemaking Bill Brosseau and vineyard partners in the state’s most famous cool-climate estate -- crafting limited releases that speak directly to each vineyard’s special sense of place. The result is nearly a quarter-century’s track record of exceptional, sought-after vintages that have garnered hundreds of 90+ scores from the top wine publications. Testarossa (Italian for “red head”) was the nickname given Rob Jensen as a young university student in Italy. Rob and Diana started Testarossa in their garage in 1993 with just twenty-five cases of wine; today, the winery has more than 250 acres under contract with more than 17 of the top winegrowers in California. Winemaking Director Bill Brosseau has been with Testarossa since 2000. A graduate of UC Davis, his unique approach to winemaking comes from working both sides of the equation—in the vineyard and in the cellar. Because Bill is also a grower, he brings invaluable hands-on experience and a unique perspective that allows him to supply the winery with only the best Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit to translate into the most sought-after wines. Bill’s approach to winemaking is to let each wine tell its own story. Behind our historic hand-hewn stone walls, Bill and his team employ traditional techniques and modern tools. Native yeast fermentations in sixty-gallon French oak barrels for our Chardonnays. Hand sorting, extended pre-soaks, and small, custom designed stainless steel fermenters for our Pinot Noir. Plus, gentle, gravity-fed movement of the wines to preserve the vineyard’s character and integrity. The results speak for themselves. "Testarossa is committed to the sustainability of the land and the vineyards that product the grapes for our acclaimed wine. We only contract with the most professional growers within the state's top appellations for world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. They share our vision and are committed to close collaboration to keep the wine, grape view and earth in harmony." -BILL BROSSEAU, DIRECTOR OF WINEMAKING
