Story
Trinitas was founded by Tim and Steph Busch and is dedicated to bringing historical California vineyards and varietals to the forefront of winemaking. The average age of the vines, where the fruit for our cuvée comes from, is over 90 years old with very low yields. This is a blend of traditional California varietals planted by early Italian and Portuguese farmers who settled in the town of Oakley in Contra Costa County.
