Producer Information: Herzog Wine Cellars

Herzog Wine Cellars is based in Oxnard, California, within Ventura County’s coastal wine region. The winery traces its roots to the Herzog family’s winemaking tradition that began in Slovakia in the 19th century before relocating to the United States after World War II. Today, Herzog Wine Cellars combines Old World craftsmanship with modern California winemaking techniques, focusing on producing premium kosher wines. Their approach emphasizes meticulous vineyard selection across top California appellations and careful small-batch production to ensure quality and authenticity.

Beyond their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay offerings, Herzog Wine Cellars produces a diverse portfolio that includes varietals such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. They also craft limited-edition reserve wines from single vineyards and experiment with lesser-known grapes like Chenin Blanc and Petit Verdot. In addition to still wines, Herzog has expanded into sparkling wines and dessert selections such as late harvest Riesling. The company further extends its expertise into spirits through the production of kosher brandy under the same family label, appealing to a broad spectrum of wine enthusiasts seeking both traditional favorites and innovative releases.
