Producer Information

Ceritas is a Sonoma winery that is around since 2005, it is managed by John Raytek and his wife Phoebe Bass, both make wine in their facility in Healdsburg from contracted grapes, all in carefully selected terroirs and from growers who farm organic and without irrigation. Started small scale, the winery now makes 48 000 bottles and with its uncompromising no-intervention winemaking from dryfarmed organic parcels won a prominent place among the most sought-after new generation wines in the best restaurants of the country (at least the ones with the most demanding wine list).John came from the sommelier scene and walked the line to the winemaking world, becoming at one point assistant winemaker at Copain and consultant from many wineries while Phoebe his wife comes from the farming side of the trade, her training is very interesting, like China Tresemer of Hiyu Wine Farm, she spent her youth in a biodynamic farm near Guerneville, 18 miles by road west of Healdsburg with woods all around, at Porter-Bass to be precise. Her parents who were from the East Coast had purchased this farm with a century-old vineyard in the early 1980s’ and revived it with their organic, then biodynamic farming, growing three grape varieties including what is considered one of the best Chardonnays in California in this cool climate area between Healdsburg and the ocean. Phoebe and John are also close friends with the same-minded people at Arnot-Roberts, doing outdoors with their families.
