He founded Leo Steen Wines in 2004, building the label's identity around Chenin Blanc at a time when the variety had been largely written off in California — and around the idea that a wine should let a distinctive vineyard site speak for itself. That same philosophy now carries across a small, natural-leaning portfolio sourced from sustainable, biodynamic, and organic sites up and down the California coast.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leo Hansen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Biodynamic (Rose Ranch has held certification since the 1990s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETY:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Grenache\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTERROIR:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sonoma Valley AVA, Sonoma County.
