Malene is a boutique winery located in the heart of the Arroyo Grande Valley, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Santa Lucia Mountains. Inspired by the region's maritime influence and mineral-rich soils, the winemaking team at Malene specializes in crafting expressive, terroir-driven wines that reflect the essence of the Central Coast.
At Malene, the winemaking philosophy is centered on minimal intervention and maximum expression of the fruit. From hand-picking the grapes to using only native yeasts for fermentation, every step of the process is carefully tailored to showcase the unique character and personality of the vineyard. The resulting wines are vibrant, nuanced, and beautifully balanced, with a purity of flavor that speaks to the quality of the fruit.
