Wines made in the vineyard
…as nature intended
Templeton Gap- the heart of Paso Wine Country
Where the wine flows and the good times roll
If you like handcrafted Californian wines made in an honest 'Old World' style, then welcome to Clavo Cellars, it's great to have you with us…
Clavo Cellars is the winemaking project of respected Central Coast viticulturist Neil Roberts. A trailblazer of regenerative vineyard farming, Neil's wines are the epitome of boutique production. Made with an expert light touch from premium grapes, Clavo Cellars wines are perfect expressions of the vineyard and terroir that nurtured them.
Wherever you enjoy Clavo Cellars wines – at home, in a restaurant or here in our Templeton tasting room – we hope you taste the time, care and attention that goes into each bottle. We source our grapes from vineyards we known and manage, picking the fruit only when it's ready so our wines tell a story not just of their place, but of their time as well.
“With every bottle of wine, I try to let the grapes lead the way. My job is simply to steward them through the winemaking process, rather than tell them what to do."
— Neil Roberts, Winemaker
