E. & J. Gallo’s Luxury Wine Group Announces Acquisition of World-Renowned Rombauer Vineyards
E. & J. Gallo’s Luxury Wine Group announced August 29 that it has reached an agreement with the Rombauer family to purchase Rombauer Vineyards, producer of critically acclaimed wines from Napa Valley, Sonoma County, the Sierra Foothills, and the Santa Lucia Highlands. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Founded in 1980 by Koerner and Joan Rombauer, Rombauer Vineyards is known for its high-quality wines, exceptional vineyard sites, and commitment to sustainability as well as its family-style hospitality. Four decades later, the winery has become widely acclaimed for its well-balanced, fruit-driven varietal expressions.
Similar to Gallo’s philosophy on cultivating the land with care, Rombauer Vineyards recognizes that winemaking is a holistic endeavor and sees the interaction of land and community as a vital part of the winemaking process.
