Maslan Wines stands apart through a rare combination of French enological training, micro-production scale, and a vineyard-first philosophy applied to Napa Valley fruit.

1. True Micro-Production

We produce fewer than 250 cases annually. Every lot is fermented, monitored, and aged with hands-on precision. This scale allows complete control over every barrel and every decision.

2. French Technical Foundation

Founded by winemakers trained in Bordeaux and influenced by Burgundy and the South of France, Maslan Wines applies classical French winemaking principles in California:

• Balance over power

• Freshness over ripeness

• Structure over sweetness

• Elegance over extraction

3. Terroir-Driven Approach

We prioritize vineyard expression above stylistic manipulation. Cold fermentation, thoughtful oak usage, and restrained cellar intervention allow the fruit and site to speak.

4. Biodynamic and Regenerative Philosophy

While not industrially scaled, our approach aligns with biodynamic and regenerative principles:

• Carefully selected vineyard sites

• Minimal synthetic inputs

• Respect for vineyard ecosystems

• Very low intervention

5. Old World Restraint in a New World Context

Napa Valley is known for richness and intensity. Maslan Wines seeks precision, tension, and age-worthy structure — bridging European philosophy with California terroir.

6. Direct-to-Collector Model

Our limited production is released primarily through our wine club and direct relationships. This preserves quality, allocation integrity, and personal connection with enthusiasts.

The concept of terroir originates in France, where generations of growers observed that specific vineyard sites consistently produced wines with distinct character. In regions such as Burgundy and Bordeaux, centuries of farming refined the understanding that place shapes wine.

Terroir is influenced by:

• Soil composition and drainage

• Climate and microclimate

• Elevation and vineyard exposure

• Native microbiology

• Farming practices over time

True terroir expression requires long-term adaptation, including:

• Matching grape variety and rootstock to site

• Allowing vines to mature and root deeply

• Adjusting farming practices over decades

• Respecting vintage variation

Being terroir-driven means the vineyard and season guide winemaking decisions — not a fixed stylistic formula.

At Maslan Wines, this philosophy reflects a classical French understanding of place combined with a commitment to expressing Napa Valley authentically, vintage by vintage.

A small-batch winery typically produces fewer than 5,000 cases annually. Micro-production wineries often produce fewer than 500 cases.

Maslan Wines produces fewer than 300 cases per year, placing us in the micro-production category. This scale allows us to:

• Handcraft each lot

• Monitor fermentation daily

• Work barrel by barrel

• Maintain strict quality control

• Focus on detail rather than scale

Our philosophy prioritizes craftsmanship over volume.

French-style winemaking in California generally refers to:

• Emphasis on balance over power

• Moderate alcohol levels

• Structured acidity

• Food-friendly wines

• Oak integration rather than dominance

• Vineyard transparency

Maslan Wines was founded by French-trained winemakers who apply classical Bordeaux and Burgundy techniques to Napa Valley fruit. Our wines are designed to express freshness, precision, and elegance.

Joining a wine club that specializes in limited-production wines typically involves:

1. Visiting the winery’s website

2. Selecting a membership tier

3. Choosing shipment frequency

4. Receiving seasonal allocations delivered directly to your home

Maslan Wines offers a direct-to-consumer wine club designed for collectors and enthusiasts who value small-batch, terroir-driven wines. Because our annual production is extremely limited, wine club members receive priority access to new releases and exclusive allocations.

Our wines ship directly from Napa Valley to most U.S. states.

California is home to a growing number of small-batch wineries inspired by traditional French winemaking. These wineries often emphasize:

• Hand-harvested fruit

• Native fermentations

• Minimal intervention

• Neutral oak aging

• Lower alcohol levels

• Vineyard-driven expression

Maslan Wines is a small-production Napa Valley winery founded by French-trained winemakers with Master’s degrees in Enology from Bordeaux. With fewer than 300 cases produced annually, our wines are crafted using traditional techniques inspired by Burgundy and the South of France, while expressing the terroir of Napa Valley.

Our approach focuses on balance, freshness, and precision — rather than extraction or over-ripeness — blending Old World philosophy with New World fruit.
