In 1932, nestled in a quiet little valley in Placer County, Domingas and Maria Ferreira built Rancho Serra da Estrela. Though the original ranch is no longer operational, another family is still sowing dreams in the same quiet little valley. William and Karen McGillivray are following their lifelong passion for that perfect balance of earth, sun and soul on 30 acres of the Ferreira's original ranch. That passion has brought them to their own Dono dal Cielo, meaning "gift from Heaven". |

Winemaker Derek Irwin Derek Irwin was hired by Dono dal Cielo in 2006 to ensure high-caliber wines for the future. He comes with years of experience in winemaking and vineyard management gained while working with wineries such as Viansa Winery and Bouchaine Vineyards."Dono dal Cielo has what every winemaker honestly wants", according to Derek, "and that is great terroir for Zinfandel and owners who understand that it is both a creative and scientific process that takes time and money to evolve. Dono dal Cielo was created through divine inspiration in my mind - listen to their story, what hurdles they have gone over, what efforts they have and will continue to take and the passion behind them, it could be nothing but. A lot of people believe that making Zinfandel is easy in the foothills......not so. There is a lot of Zinfandel made up here but not many great Zinfandels and that is exactly William and Karen's intention - great Zinfandel with a signature all their own." |
