Located in the cool-climate, coastal terroir of the Santa Maria Valley, Bien Nacido
Vineyard has roots tracing back to 1837, but experienced its iconic rebirth when Bob and Steve Miller planted grapes on it in 1973. Meaning “well born” in Spanish, Bien Nacido was named for the passion and commitment that the Miller Brothers shared for bringing the vineyard to life – something they have achieved every single year since purchasing the now famed site.

Bien Nacido Vineyard’s iconic status is no more evident than in their long line of prestigious designations and awards, including being named as one of “The 10 Vineyards Behind the World’s Most Famous Wines” by Wine Enthusiast and among the “Top 25 Vineyards in the World” as named by Wine & Spirits, in addition to numerous other accolades by renowned critics and publications.

With optik, Bien Nacido Vineyards has once again been reinterpreted, this time through the lens of one of California’s most esteemed winemakers. From the grapes of this famed site will come new, next-gen wines that will continue to build upon this vineyard’s celebrated legacy.
