BRITTANY SHERWOOD

Winemaker, Heitz Cellar

Family Owned

Brittany was fascinated with biology and living organisms—an interest that led to her enrollment in the pre-med program at UC Davis before fnding her passion for wine and shifting her major to Viticulture and Enology; she would go on to gain winemaking experience in Europe and Oregon. Under the Lawrence family’s leadership, Brittany is excited to carry the iconic Heitz Cellar’s traditions forward. Brittany’s approach to winemaking is one of minimal intervention that highlights each vineyard’s unique qualities, as well as vintage expression. Along with Heitz Cellar’s Associate Winemaker Aaron Huntsberger, Brittany also crafted the inaugural vintage of Brendel, a collection of modern and distinct Napa Valley wines.
