meet the Team

John & Donna Freeman

Owners, Colcanyon Estate – a pair of British expats who stumbled into the wine business when they bought the estate in 2003. A steep learning curve since then has seen them involved in all aspects of grape growing, wine production and commercialization.

Julio and Juan provide year round care and maintenance to the vines – from pruning to spraying, irrigation to canopy management and from pest control to harvest. We’re privileged to have them as part of the team – thanks guys !

Manuel Cuevas

Manuel, and his brother Jose, own and operate our production facility – C2 Cellars – located in the Santa Ynez valley in central California. Their state of the art operation allows us to drive a high quality end product based on high quality grapes.
