PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Sinegal Estate has a rich heritage dating back to 1879, with the first vines planted in 1881. It is a family-owned Saint Helena based historic 30-acre property. The property has changed owners a number of times over the decades, passing through separate families. Its current owner, David Sinegal, purchased the property in 2013. Since then, the Sinegal’s have focused on updating the property with current farming practices, by integrating innovation and technology into their winemaking.
