The vineyards at Cardella Ranch were first planted in the 1970s and have been sold to premier California wineries ever since. After graduating from the Enology and Viticulture program at Fresno State University in 2004, fourth-generation Nathan Cardella founded Cardella Winery with his father Rod. They believed premium artisan wines were lacking in the San Joaquin Valley and that the family’s vineyards could help fill this niche. Today the winery produces numerous award-winning varieties and has earned a reputation for being a cut above the rest. The Cardella family is proud to contribute to the notoriety of the the Panoche Circle and takes great pride in producing food and wine for the world to enjoy.
