Please join us in welcoming Bibiana González Rave, winemaker and proprietor of Cattleya wines for an exceptional tasting of her Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Bibiana believes a vineyard is a direct reflection of the work put into it by human hands. She is an involved winemaker who can often be found walking through the vineyards, developing pruning methods, canopy management practices or checking fruit during the maturity process. Her knowledge of vineyard practices is apparent in every small detail and her constant strive for excellence is evident at first sip. Bibiana’s love for the art of winemaking leads to wines of unique purity, finesse, and reflection of their origins.
Bibiana’s constant pursuit of excellence brought her to work with some of the best wineries in France, including Château Haut-Brion, La Mission Haut-Brion and Château la Dominique in Bordeaux, Michel & Stephane Ogier and Domaine Clusel-Roch in Côte-Rôtie, Domaine du Scheidecker in Alsace and Domaine du Devevey in Burgundy.
Bibiana’s first vintage in California was 2004. Since then, she hit the ground running. She worked six harvests in three years, traveling to South Africa to work harvests at Soronsberg Cellars in the Tulbagh region. Back in California, she worked at La Crema, Peay Vineyards, Au Bon Climat and Qupé before Lynmar Estate, where she was winemaker from 2009 through early 2012.
Her label Cattleya was conceived in 2012 and so was Bibiana’s career as Consulting Winemaker. Since then, she has earned a remarkable series of accolades and rave reviews for all her wines and those of her clients. She was named one of Wine Enthusiast’s first “40 Under 40: America’s Tastemakers” in 2013 and in 2015, she was named “Winemaker of the Year” by the San Francisco Chronicle. Bibiana’s newest venture, Alma de Cattleya, represents the soul of the California appellation where the wines are made.
