Waypoint Vineyards
Waypoint represents a limited-production series of single-vineyard wines from some of Northern California’s most esteemed vineyards, including celebrated sites like Ritchie Vineyard in Sonoma and Fort Ross-Seaview near Mendocino. These vineyards are renowned for yielding fruit that crafts complex and delicious wines, establishing a benchmark of quality within the region.
Their winemaker, Matt Sands, brings a global perspective to his craft. A New Zealand native, Sands has refined his skills in creating pure wines through experiences at Man O’ War on Waiheke and Screaming Eagle in St. Helena. Alongside him is Phillipe Melka, a winemaker with nearly three decades of experience in drawing out deep, nuanced flavors from Napa Valley grapes. Together, they focus on gentle fermentation and the use of neutral oak, producing wines that truly represent their terroir.
