Matt Murphy, President
As the President of Presqu’ile Winery, Matt Murphy has guided his family’s efforts to establish Presqu’ile as one of the Santa Maria Valley’s defining wineries, recognized for making balanced and sophisticated cool-climate wines.
Dieter Cronje, Winemaker
A cool-climate Pinot Noir specialist, Dieter Cronje brings a unique perspective, gained in two hemispheres, to Presqu’ile.
Mike Chase, Assistant Winemaker
Born and raised in Los Gatos, California, Mike attended Cal Poly and received his degree in Enology & Viticulture.
Anna Murphy, Enologist
As Presqu’ile’s enologist, Anna works closely alongside Winemaker Dieter Cronje at every stage of the winemaking process, from the growing season through harvest to final blending.
Isaias Flores, Cellar Master
Isaias learned how to drive a tractor before a car, so needless to say, his farming background is strong. His tenure at Presqu’ile began while working alongside our original vineyard manager, Jim Stollberg.
