La Crema was founded in 1979 and quickly established itself as a pioneer of intensely flavored Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cool climates. The winery has dedicated more than 30 years to explore the depth and breadth of varietal expression in California's fine cool-climate vineyards.

They look for one unifying factor at these exceptional sites: coastal wind and fog that allows the grapes ripen slowly on the vine, developing intensely complex aromas and flavors while retaining firm acid structure.
