Every field has specialists and in the wine business, there is no one more valuable than the winemaker. Winemakers come from all over the world and have specialties; some more experienced in red, others in white and sparkling. The winemaker's intense schooling and experience in vineyards make his or her taste and instructions superior. This is the difference, if you will, between a chef and a cook. Many people can make wine by following the formula, but a winemaker has the highly trained senses to use his talent to make the wine unique. We benefit from the knowledge of our prominent winemakers and their guidance and expertise - the proof is in the glass!

Kluge Estate is proud to have a team that hails from Europe and also has roots in Virginia. In addition to Kluge Estate’s privilege in working with enthusiastic and diverse experts, the winemakers enjoy seeing the commitment and pride we have in our wine, Virginia and the state’s growing industry.
