Located in Cienega Valley, DeRose Winery was founded on land rich in winemaking history. Since 1854, when French immigrant Theophile Vaché began hauling his wine to market in San Juan Bautista, the property has survived several changes in ownership, a few major earthquakes and the age of prohibition. Prized by generations of vintners for its temperate climate and great soil, it is an ideal location for growing wine grapes.

Clos LaChance specializes in producing quality Bordeaux and Rhône style wines including a 2008 Lila's Cuvee and 2007 Reserve Cabernet.
