We produce two distinct portfolios of wines based upon the exceptional, ideally situated growing regions of the Central Coast. Our property consists of 213 acres of rolling hills with 38 high elevation hillside acres currently under vine. Biodynamically grown Rhone-style wines from our Estate in the Santa Ynez Valley and Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from some of the best vineyards located in both the Santa Rita Hills and Santa Maria Valley AVAs.

We believe that low yields, sustainable and biodynamic farming practices, and gentle winemaking produce wines of exceptional quality. The process of Biodynamic farming is guided by Philippe Armenier, formerly of Domaine Marcoux in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

==Winemaker: Harry Waye==
Growing up in Adelaide, Australia, Harry was always surrounded by the vineyards throughout the South Australian wine regions of Barossa, Claire and McLaren Vale. Following his new-found love (now wife) to California in the mid 2000s, Harry “fell into” the central coast wine industry.

In 2011, Harry was rewarded the head winemaker position, as well as the vineyard operations manager. Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Michael Roth, Harry is continuing the approach of low alcohol, balanced acidity and detailed care of the vineyard. Harry has embraced the challenge of creating wines that are complex, while being food friendly and approachable, not just for the connoisseur, but for the everyday wine lover that lives in all of us.

Harry continuously produces wines scoring over 90+ points and has been awarded the highest score given on a California Rosé by both ''The Wine Enthusiast'' and ''Wine & Spirits Magazine''. His passion, diligence and love for the wines shows in his beautiffly crafted, complex wines.

==Cultivation Notes: Biodynamic==
For every journey, there is a first step. Each year this begins with the nourishment of the soil, which precedes the growth of exceptional grapes. Inspired by the holistic stewardship and environmental reverence of the philosophy, we began farming our Estate property by Biodynamic principles in 2005.

Biodynamic farming is based on the philosophy that our entire property is a living organism. We use no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers (much like organic farming), and, in addition, we farm by the phases of the planets and the moon and treat our vineyards with various preparations to promote health and vitality in the soil, plants, and animals. One key goal of the philosophy is to reduce our dependence on imported inputs of all types and increase the living dynamics of the entire farm: just as minimal handling in the cellar promotes a purity of expression in our wine, so too does this deeply traditional form of agriculture.

== History ==
This idyllic setting captivated John Zahoudanis when searching for vineyard property in 2005. He had grown up on a farm near Mount Olympus in Greece, where his family cultivated olives, citrus, and a small plot of grapes used to make wine for themselves. John and wife Sandra purchased the estate and named it after their daughter Demetria, and the Greek goddess of harvest Demeter.

Clesi wines exist in two places at once, the old world and the new. The rich and complex Aglianico is known as the favored wine amongst the ancient Romans while the Cabernet Sauvignon, fruit forward with high-toned aromatics, is true to the Paso Robles AVA. Equal parts legacy, curiosity and culture, winemaker Chris Ferrara brings his love of eccentric varietals and reverence for Italian culture into his winemaking process.

Clesi produces an ensemble of rare Italian heirloom wine varieties on the Central Coast of California including Malvasia Bianca, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Negro Amaro, Barbera, Greco, and Montepulciano. These Italian wines bearing California’s stamp of terroir are elegant, earthy and balanced. (edit)

==History==
Tucked in between the rolling hills of the Templeton Gap AVA and surrounded by vegetable gardens and roaming chickens, the new Clesi winery and tasting room will be opening its doors in May of 2017 at 1877 Templeton Road in Templeton. After more than a decade in San Luis Obispo to return to the Templeton AVA is to return to where Clesi began.

Clesi Wines GrapesClesi Wines Vineyard
It was just down the road while working for another winery that winemaker Chris Ferrara and marketer Adrienne Lindsay first met and fell in love, and where Chris first fully realized his passion for exotic varietals while working under legendary winemaker Ken Volk. Today Clesi produces rare heirloom varieties like: Malvasia Bianca, Dolcetto, Sangiovese, Negro Amaro, Barbera, Aglianico, Greco, Montepulciano and more.

Clesi Wines - Chris Ferrara

Like the Sicilian trinacria stamped on the label, the inspiration behind Clesi is a symbolic trifecta. Equal parts legacy, curiosity and culture, Chris brings his Sicilian-American farming roots, love of eccentric varietals and reverence for Italian culture into his winemaking process. Because of this, Clesi wines are elegant, food-focused and meant to be shared amongst friends.

Clesi Wines HorshoesClesi Wines Chickens
When you come to the tasting room, you sit at an ancient redwood slab table and enjoy the wines with Chris and others as friends. This is intentional. While traveling through Italy, Chris and Adrienne had their eyes opened to the concept of convivio – shared life – and embrace visitors in this style. And when you leave, you may have tomato seeds in your teeth and a bottle under your arm whose name you may or may not be able to pronounce – but it will be filled with beautiful wine.
