Delicato Family Vineyards (Delicato) has acquired the Central Coast California Blossom Hill Winery from Treasury Wine Estates.

This acquisition is part of Delicato's ongoing premiumisation and growth strategy following a recent announcement of its strategic investment in Sonoma's luxury portfolio of brands, V2 Wine Group.

To be called Alba Coast Winery, the newly acquired facility is located in Paicines AVA in San Benito County.

Delicato's president and chief executive officer (CEO) Chris Indelicato said: "The name Alba means dawn or sunrise in Italian and reflects a new dawn for the pioneering winery, which was established during early Central Coast wine and vineyard development.

"My grandfather started with a single winery almost 100 years ago and as we continue to grow our business and expand our luxury portfolio, taking steps to ensure quality winemaking will remain our top priority."

"Name Alba means dawn or sunrise in Italian and reflects a new dawn for the pioneering winery."

The Alba Coast Winery equips Delicato with an additional four million cases of growth capacity.

The deal does not include any brands but will be used to support the growth of Delicato's premium and ultra-premium wines from the Monterey and Central Coast regions such as Noble Vines, Gnarly Head, Z. Alexander Brown, Diora, and Irony.

The facility will also support two of the company's premier Central Coast vineyards in the San Bernabe AVA and Santa Lucia Highlands, as well as a number of grower partners.

Delicato Family Vineyards is a family-owned company founded in 1924.
