The Legacy & History
Founded in 1945 by Italian immigrants Gus and Helen Mase, Shadow Mountain Vineyard embodies a rich heritage rooted in tradition and passion. Their dedication has handcrafted a legacy that continues today, with vines still bearing Gus’s name and practices that emphasize low yield, high-quality production.
The Mase family’s vision grew over the decades—expanding vineyards in the '60s and '70s—culminating in modern success under owners Alex and Pam McGeary since the 1990s. Their commitment to quality continues to earn Shadow Mountain recognition, including platinum, gold, silver, and bronze medals at prestigious competitions.
An Exceptional Growing Environment
Perched at approximately 3,300 feet above sea level, Shadow Mountain’s vineyards thrive in rocky, mineral-rich soils with carefully planned row orientations for maximum sun exposure and protection. The high-altitude climate yields grapes with delicate aromas, nuanced flavors, and exceptional consistency, despite challenges like heat spikes and spring frost—that's all part of what makes their wine so outstanding.
