Laura Diaz Munoz, Winemaker and General Manager of Ehlers Estate, grew up sharing sips of wine with her father while watching the fishing boats during their family vacations in the North of Spain. Her first sip of wine was an Albariño which solidified her love of wines. After completing her post graduate degree in enology at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Laura started her career in La Mancha and worked in different wine regions in Spain. A few years later, Laura left Spain and traveled to New Zealand and Chile learning as much as she could about winemaking and the influence of terroir in different wine regions. Laura then decided to take a job at Napa Valley which leads her to her current role. It has been more than ten years that Laura has been making wine in Napa Valley. Some of her roles have included Associate Winemaker for Cardinale, Lokoya, Mt. Brace, La Jota and Winemaker for Galerie. SheFor over a decade Laura has been making wine in the Napa Valley as the Associate Winemaker for Cardinale, Lokoya, Mt Brave, La Jota and Winemaker for Galerie.

Laura was brought on as Winemaker and General Manager to Ehler Estate in 2018. In the spring of 2019, Laura hired vineyard manager, Michael Wolf of Michael Wolf Vineyard Services, for farming and maintenance of the estate vines. His meticulous nature and practical experience in the field, along with his respect for the land and those that tend it have made him a natural fit for Ehlers Estate.

Today, both of them continue the legacy of Bernard and Anne Ehlers, and Jean and Sylviane Leducq, who saw the potential that today you can taste in every bottle of Ehlers Estate wine.
