Tortoise Creek was created by Mel and Janie Master, a British couple with extensive experience in the wine business in both France and California. The name "Tortoise Creek" translates from their home in Provence, "Le Riseau de Tortue," named after the tortoises thriving in their vineyard creek. The concept behind Tortoise Creek is to collaborate with small California farmers who practice sustainable farming. These handcrafted, small-batch wines are selected and blended from growers who embrace this philosophy. In 2008, the Masters partnered with the Sager family, owners of Winesellers, Ltd., to expand their range. Tortoise Creek now offers top-quality Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc, each crafted to represent the best of its varietal and provide exceptional value.
