Moonstone Crossing Winery

Moonstone Crossing Winery crafts small-lot wines from select grapes grown in hillside vineyards across the Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino, and Amador appellations. Winemakers Don Bremm and Sharon Hanks use traditional-style techniques, avoiding pumping, fining, and filtration and adding only minimal sulfites during winemaking and bottling. The winery specializes in full-bodied red varietals including Sangiovese, Barbera, Zinfandel, Old Vine Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Petit Sirah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignane, Nebbiolo, Aglianico, and Pinotage, along with Spanish-, Rhone-, Bordeaux-, Super Tuscan-, and Italian Piedmont-style blends. It also produces ports, white ports, and white wines such as Falaghina, Albarino, Malvasia Bianca, and Vermentino. All red wines age in French and American oak for 22 to 36 months, then rest in bottle for six months before release. The tasting room is in Trinidad, California. Bremm and Hanks began exploring wine in the late 1990s through local tasting fundraisers and visits to Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino, and Sierra Foothill wineries, and their interest grew while traveling through Italy, France, Spain, and Germany.
