NATALIE WEST

WINEMAKER, WHITE WINES

“Dedicated to our white wines program, I value the ability to focus on the two varietals that were also the first wines that Ferrari-Carano made. Our Fume Blanc and Chardonnay are crafted with intention, to reflect our vineyard sites while maintaining the consistency Ferrari-Carano is known for.”

Growing up on a small family vineyard in Dry Creek Valley, Natalie spent time helping tend to the vines and learned from a young age her love of vineyards and the wine industry.

After earning a degree in Viticulture and Enology from UC Davis a Natalie worked several internships that led her to New Zealand, San Martin, Russian River Valley, and Alexander Valley where she joined Ferrari-Carano in 2005 as an Enologist at the Prevail winery. Natalie became Assistant Winemaker for Ferrari-Carano red wines, and most recently was brought to the Estate winery in Dry Creek Valley to oversee the Ferrari-Carano white wine production.
