AmByth Estate sits atop a high ridge overlooking Templeton Gap, surrounded by steep sloping vineyards lined with olive trees. The grounds are tended by chickens and sheep and the distant horizon obscured by the majestic Santa Lucia Mountains.

Introducing new wines from Raphaëlle Guyot (Yonne), Le Haut Planty (Muscadet), La Ferme des Sept Lunes (Saint Joseph), Château de Grand Pré (Fleurie), and Brand & Co. (Alsace).

Wishing you a very Sherry Christmas and a Natty New Year!!!
