Xanthos wine is made by our proprietor and vintner, Trevor Sheehan. Trevor's journey to create a top wine collection began 10 years ago when he first became a winemaker. Since then, he has dedicated himself to crafting exceptional wines that showcase the unique characteristics of the vineyards and the grapes he works with.
Trevor's passion for winemaking started at a young age, when he would help his grandparents harvest grapes at their vineyard. This early exposure to the world of wine sparked his curiosity and set him on a path to pursue a career in the industry.
After completing his studies in viticulture and enology, Trevor gained hands-on experience working at various wineries around the world. He traveled to renowned wine regions such as Napa Valley, Bordeaux, and Tuscany, learning from some of the most respected winemakers in the industry. This global perspective allowed him to gather knowledge and techniques that he would later apply to his own winemaking process.
When Trevor decided to start his own wine label, he focused on sourcing grapes from exceptional vineyards in California. He understood that the quality of the grapes is paramount in producing outstanding wines, so he sought out vineyards that shared his commitment to excellence. These vineyards are carefully selected based on factors such as soil composition, microclimate, and farming practices.
Once the grapes are harvested, Trevor takes a meticulous approach to winemaking. He believes in minimal intervention, allowing the natural flavors and characteristics of the grapes to shine through. From fermentation to aging, every step of the winemaking process is carefully monitored and adjusted to ensure the highest quality.
Trevor's dedication to his craft is evident in every bottle of Xanthos wine. Each wine is a true reflection of the vineyard, the grapes, and the winemaking techniques employed. Whether it's a bold Cabernet Sauvignon, a elegant Chardonnay, or a vibrant Rosé, each varietal is crafted with precision and passion.
In addition to his winemaking skills, Trevor also possesses a deep knowledge of the wine industry as a whole. As a sommelier, he understands the intricacies of pairing wine with food and can offer expert advice on selecting the perfect bottle for any occasion.
