about us

Gallica [GAL-i-kuh] is a collection of organically farmed single vineyard wines by Rosemary Cakebread. With decades of experience at storied houses in Napa and Bordeaux Rosemary started making her own wine in 2007. Named as an ode to the ancient apothecary rose [rosa gallica], we honor what aromatics bring to wine. With devotion to single vineyard Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Rosemary also explores less expected varietals from other growing regions that enchant her including Albariño, Grenache and Cabernet Franc. We strive to touch the land lightly, make wines honestly and bring beauty to the table. 

The philosophy is a simple one: to craft elegant single vineyard wines farmed organically which accurately depict the site and the story of each unique vintage. GALLICA makes Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Albariño, and limited bottlings of estate Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah. The estate is nestled in the heart of Napa Valley against the Mayacamas with nearby ambling Sulphur Creek. Surrounded by historic vineyards, coastal oaks, our gardens and olives. Our home is a handsome barn, contemporary and fresh, standing side by side with weathered vines.
