Shadowbrook Winery

Contra Costa County

Our Story

Although a boutique winery, Shadowbrook is a leader in the industry featuring state-of-the-art equipment and technology rarely found anywhere in the U.S. The fermenting tanks imported from Italy feature remotely operated “punch down” capability, a practice once laboriously done by hand. This allows the winemakers to control the fermentation process automatically, on the wine's time. The optical sorter — only one of 17 in the United States — can separate stems, other debris — even unwanted fruit ~ from the perfectly ripened grapes. This truly amazing machine, which needs to be seen to be believed, speeds production and provides incredible precision when it comes to selecting only the finest grapes for making wine. Even the barrel racks are outfitted with rollers, allowing the winemakers to spin the barrels - a technique called “Aging Sorrells” - as the wine ages to ensure the wine develops to its thick and rich complexity.
