About Our Wines
At Urban Press Winery, we take pride in offering an exquisite collection of wines, carefully curated to cater to the tastes of every wine enthusiast. Our selection showcases the best of California’s vineyards, with a diverse range of wines from sparkling to robust reds, delicate whites, and enchanting rosés. Urban Press specializes in White Rhones, a versatile and popular wine originally farmed in France. Additionally, our wines are not overly oaked and do not have residual sugar. Each bottle tells a story of tradition, passion, and the art of winemaking.
With patience, care, and precision in the forefront of producing the wines, and preferring to keep them longer in their barrels, Urban Press releases limited vintages.
