MCW maintains long-standing working relationships with vineyard growers in Sonoma County, established since 2002, supporting consistent grape sourcing and operational continuity.
Crush operations are carried out through a permitted alternating proprietor arrangement at Punchdown Cellars, ensuring that all processing occurs within licensed facilities and established compliance frameworks.
By operating within existing infrastructure, MCW maintains production discipline, quality control, and operational efficiency throughout the crush, fermentation, cellaring, and the bottling processes.
