About Domaine Degher
Domaine Degher sits atop a registered organic vineyard in the rolling hills of the northwest side of Paso Robles AVA on California’s Central Coast.
Owner/wine maker Denis Degher’s lifelong love affair with music orchestrates his powerful yet elegant wines. “Making wine is like making love or making music…very improvisational. You start with a vision and harness the mystery of nature. Then with each ever-changing vintage, you strive to shape this raw life force into a wine of natural grace and beauty, while keeping your mind’s eye on your creative vision.”
Domaine Deghers’ vision includes minimalist intervention, vinification in very small lots and sustainable farming practices. Then allowing each vintage to speak its own language as it engages your sense of taste and smell.
