Stolen Roots Title

BORN IN THE NEW WORLD

Rooted in the Old

TRIBUTE TO THE
UNSUNG STEWARDS

In the 1800s, a vine-killing blight swept Europe, nearly erasing centuries of winemaking. Resistant American roots offered salvation, but the cure changed the vines’ essence. Secretly, some families preserved clippings of their original roots, safeguarding Old World heritage.

One bold visionary smuggled these prized roots to California soil, where they found new life. From the belief that great wine should be shared, Stolen Roots was born—rooted in legacy, thriving in rebellion. Today, we craft wines that fuse Old World tradition with New World spirit.

OUR SELECTION

Crafted exclusively from the finest grapes sourced from the most coveted vineyards in select AVAs of Santa Barbara County, our wines are vineyard-specific varietals that reflect the distinct character of each site—chosen for their exceptional farming practices and unique terroir. The selection of our first five varietals was rooted in both passion and place.
