Yes, the vineyards are in world-famous Malibu — not on the beach, but in a 250-acre estate, five miles inland from the famous beach, 1,500 feet up in a secluded canyon in the Malibu hills. Soil and climate are ideal. All Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate grapes are estate grown in the AVA Malibu-Newton Canyon. 28 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Chardonnay are in production, with clone and rootstock selected to optimize quality at each small vineyard site.
