Founded in 2010, Kitá Wines is a small, premium winery located in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley within the Santa Barbara County AVA (American Viticultural Area). The word "Kitá" means "Our Valley Oak" in the Santa Ynez Chumash native language of Samala. Like the valley oak, our wine highlights the gifts from Mother Earth and embodies the spirit of the Santa Ynez Valley. We focus on respecting the balance of soil, climate, location and taste. With a total case production of around 2,000 cases, Kitá wines are crafted using sustainable methods and a blend of old world and new world winemaking techniques. All of the wines have been harvested by hand based on a balance of chemistry and taste to preserve the highest quality. Our wines are produced in small batches aiming to have minimal manipulation and maximizing varietal characteristics.

Owned and operated by the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians, Kitá's award winning wines are hand made by Tara Gomez, recognized as the first Native American winemaker in California.
This pale straw colored wine has aromatics of citrus, asian pear and apple with hints of slate and citrus blossom. The natural balance and complexity of this wine can be attributed to the sandy soils and elegance from Dijon clones 76 and 96. The palate is mineral and citrus propelled in flavor while the acidity tingles your tastebuds.
