Meet Our Winemaker, Justin Knight!
During California Wine Month, we’re shining a spotlight on our talented winemaker, Justin Knight, who has been crafting exceptional, award winning wines with Danza del Sol for 15 years and Masia de la Vinya since its acquisition in 2015. Justin has had the opportunity to work under three amazing winemakers, Mike Tingley, Arturo Villareal, and Renato Sais, before taking the helm in wine production. We thank them all for passing down all the knowledge and passion of wine to Justin.
Despite the long hours, Harvest takes the top spot as Justin’s favorite part of his job—especially the moment when juice transforms into a rudimentary wine. It’s the magic of the process that keeps him passionate every season!
He has a deep love for crafting unique wines at both Danza and Masia. At Danza, his favorites are Vermentino and Super T, both vibrant and complex. Over at Masia, he enjoys creating Verdelho and Orchestra, showcasing the bold, fresh flavors that set these wines apart. Each bottle reflects his passion and expertise, capturing the essence of the vineyards he’s worked with for years.
We love you, Justin! Thank you and your team for all your hard work making some of the Valley’s favorite wines!
