Michael Scholz

The Path

Continuity defines Michael Scholz’s rise within St. Supéry Estate Vineyards & Winery. Rather than moving through unrelated posts, he advanced inside the same estate before taking the top vineyards-and-winemaking role, and that gives his career a clear line of sight from site to bottle. In Napa Valley, where timing, judgment, and long familiarity with land matter, that kind of progression points to a broadening command of the estate’s potential.

The Work Today

Winemaking and vineyards sit under Michael Scholz’s remit at the Napa Valley estate. The work spans the field and the cellar, with each informing the other, and the title itself makes that dual responsibility explicit. At St. Supéry Estate Vineyards & Winery, that means the quality of the fruit and the shape of the finished wine are treated as connected tasks, not separate ones.

Signature

Each name reads as part of the estate’s own vocabulary, with Estate Bottled tying the wines directly to place and Louis XIV and Estate Bottled Louis XIV showing range within that same frame. Taken together, the signatures point to the style language through which Scholz’s work is presented.
