Cleavage Creek is all about great wine. Our wines are a labor of love. It starts with Budge Brown's vision and focus on the quality of wines he wants to produce. Longtime farmer and grape grower, Budge watches over his two vineyards to ensure the best fruit possible. After the harvest and crush, Budge and Mickael “Mike” Gulyash begin the process where this extraordinary juice begins the fragile and closely watched transformation into becoming award-winning wine.

We have recently started entering wine competitions to see what everyone else thinks. And the winners are:
