Answered by Andrew Fritz

Saldo is not made by prisoners. Saldo wine is actually made by our winemaking team in collaboration with a family of growers who source grapes from premier vineyards throughout California. The grapes used to make Saldo wine are not grown or harvested by prisoners.

Our winemaking team takes great pride in sourcing grapes from a diverse variety of vineyards across California. This allows us to create interesting blends that showcase the distinct quality and character of different grape varieties and terroirs. By working closely with our family of growers, we are able to ensure that only the highest quality grapes are used in the production of our wines.

The process of making wine is a labor-intensive and skilled craft that requires expertise and attention to detail. From the vineyard to the cellar, our winemaking team is dedicated to producing wines of exceptional quality. They carefully select the grapes, monitor fermentation, and age the wine in oak to enhance its flavors and aromas.

While there are some wineries that may employ prisoners as part of their rehabilitation programs, it is important to note that Saldo wine is not produced in this manner. Our winemaking team works closely with experienced growers who have dedicated their lives to cultivating grapes and producing high-quality wines.

I have personally had the opportunity to visit several vineyards and wineries in California and have witnessed firsthand the passion and dedication that goes into winemaking. The vineyard workers and winemakers I have met have been hardworking individuals who take great pride in their craft. Their expertise and knowledge are essential in producing wines of exceptional quality.
