Daniel, the winemaker, had experimented with winemaking in his San Diego garage, while Georges handled business; they chose the site's calcareous clay soils, praised by André Tchelistcheff as a \"jewel of ecological elements.\" In 2023, Treasury Wine Estates acquired the estate for nearly $1 billion, with the brothers remaining involved as founders, Daniel as chief winemaker, overseeing about 400 acres focused on Bordeaux varieties.\u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture Philosophy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDaou emphasizes sustainable practices on DAOU Mountain, holding SIP (Sustainability in Practice) certification through biodiversity promotion, soil health via organic cover crops, water conservation, and integrated pest management. High vine density (2,200-2,500 vines\/acre), hand-pruning to 10-12 clusters per vine, low yields, and nighttime hand-harvesting preserve flavor concentration, balance, and terroir expression amid coastal winds and diatomaceous earth soils.
