Cellar Team Raymundo Abarca and the Cellar Team

The three Abarca brothers Raymundo, Ruben, and Jose have worked with us for almost thirty years – first in the cellar and vineyards at Kistler and now at Occidental. Raymundo's oldest son Adrian joined his father over ten years ago, and his youngest son, Favian, also assists in the cellar and vineyards. Their skill, dedication, and pride in what they do is reflected in each bottle of Occidental that we produce.

We can’t imagine Occidental without the Abarca brothers, and to now have the second generation of the Kistler and Abarca families working side by side in the cellar is especially gratifying.
