Our vineyards

a tale of two terroirs

Our vineyards thrive in proudly undiscovered regions, each steeped in ancient methods, generations of wisdom, and varietals as captivating as they are rare.

At House of Mustaine, we embrace the philosophy that great wine is made in the vineyard. Wine should transport you to another place, tell a story, and elevate every experience. With a deep respect for the land and a passion for crafting exceptional wines, we draw from the rich traditions of Italy and the innovative spirit of California. While each collection offers its unique character, both embody our commitment to quality, sustainability, and artistry.

Our philosophy is not new—it has been practiced for over a thousand years by Benedictine Monks, who perfected organic and sustainable vineyard methods long before the term “organic” was coined. These very monks founded our Italian vineyard over 1200 years ago.

Our vineyard practices are cultivated from generations of wisdom. They include lunar-guided pruning, planting cover crops for soil vitality, and hand-harvesting to ensure only the finest grapes are selected. This devotion to nature, which has shaped some of the world’s finest wines in history, ensures every bottle of our wine delivers purity, depth, and a connection to the land, offering you a more authentic, high-quality wine experience.

Every sip is free from unnecessary additives, bursting with pure intensity, and hand crafted with care—just as wine was meant to be. Our ancient-methods allow the land to flourish, ensuring that future vintages are as exceptional as the last.
