About DAOU Vineyards & Winery
DAOU Mountain rises 2,200 feet in elevation in the hills of the Adelaida District on the west side of the Paso Robles AVA. Warm, temperate days and cool nights guarantee even ripening and vine balance every year. The terroir of DAOU Mountain yields harvests of fruit with extraordinary phenolics, small berries with intense flavors, aromas, and deep colors from a low skin-to-juice ratio. Georges and Daniel Daou promise to fulfill this mountain’s destiny of becoming one of the world’s greatest vineyards.
Every vine on the Mountain is touched by hand at least five times each year—hand-pruned, fruit dropped, every vine hand-picked. Daniel’s wine making philosophy reveals the purest expression of DAOU Mountain. The sum of all of these elements of terroir is wine of unparalleled power, grace, and character.
