Production & Heritage

Seven Daughters was established in 2008 by the Terlato Wine Group, a family-owned company with deep roots in the American wine industry. The brand built its reputation primarily through its wildly successful Moscato — the top-selling Moscato in the U.S. restaurant channel, moving over 100,000 cases — before extending into other varietals, including this Pinot Grigio. The grapes are sourced from California vineyards and vinified in a clean, fruit-forward style designed to deliver straightforward varietal character without excessive oak influence.
