Description
Maitre de Chai is a boutique California winery founded in 2012 by chefs‑turned‑winemakers Alex Pitts and Marty Winters. Drawing on experience in top kitchens and cellars, they treat the winery like a kitchen—selecting grapes from exceptional, sustainably farmed single vineyards and letting the fruit speak through a low‑intervention approach. All wines ferment with native yeasts, see no new oak or additives, and are aged in neutral vessels to preserve purity and a true sense of place. The result is elegant, food‑friendly wines that capture the character of celebrated sites such as Ellison Vineyard on Sonoma Mountain, Wheeler Vineyard in San Benito, Stampede Vineyard in Clement Hills and Gala Vineyard in Napa
