Brothers Georges and Daniel Daou searched the world for the ideal place to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. Their journey led them to the Adelaida District of Paso Robles and DAOU Mountain – a place once described by legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff as “a jewel of ecological elements.”

DAOU Mountain’s 212-acre estate combines a climate reminiscent of Napa Valley with soils similar to those of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux. This exceptional terroir provides ideal conditions for producing premium Bordeaux-style wines.

DAOU combines traditional winemaking with modern technology and continuous innovation. Carefully selected grape clones, sustainable vineyard practices, the proprietary D20 yeast strain and custom-made French oak barrels all contribute to one goal: expressing the unique terroir of DAOU Mountain as purely as possible.

The winery’s ambition is to create age-worthy, world-class wines capable of standing alongside those from the world’s most respected wine regions.
