Event Description

Join Matt Sands, winemaker at Lithology winery for a comprehensive tasting of Lithology Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

In the past two vintage release Matt has been a part of three 100-point wines released from Lithology.

A native of New Zealand’s Waiheke Island, Matt has trained under some of the best teachers and worked for some of the best wineries on the planet. He learned an array of modern techniques from some of New Zealand’s most famous wineries and also served as a committee member of the Waiheke Wine Growers Association.

His domestic experience has helped him ascend into a different stratosphere. Time working harvests at Screaming Eagle and Bryant Family gave him an inside look at the premiere wines and terroir of Napa Valley.

The secret may be out about our winery and what we are doing in the quiet piece of St, Helena Napa Valley.

With richly storied geologic history found nowhere else on earth, Napa Valley offers some of the world’s most diverse soils and the opportunity to create wines of defined character and taste. Named for the study of these soils, Lithology Estate crafts wines from select growing areas within the Valley, carefully choosing from the patchwork of microclimates and terroirs.

Handcrafted by renowned winemakers Philippe Melka, Maayan Koschitzky, Matt Sands and blended with consulting winemaker Michel Rolland, the estate’s small lot Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc wines are as varied as the Valley itself and reflect the individuality of their sites.
