our roots

SANTA MARIA NATIVES
We are Cameron and Marlen Porter, a husband and wife team born and raised in Santa Barbara County.  The exploration, and elevation, of our growing region has been our life's work.  We first bonded over a shared love for wine and music, and Amplify is an extension of this marriage between our two greatest passions.  

NATURAL WINE
As winemakers, we seek to amplify the voice of site and enhance the most singular characteristics of a given vineyard, marrying a sense of place with a sense of style.  We have been making natural wine since 2013, and utilize native yeast fermentations, neutral vessels for fermentation and aging, no additions except for minimum effective sulfur dioxide, and farming that seeks to establish a healthy ecosystem.  We embrace the happy accident, letting intuition guide our hand, with our creative spirit and palates as our primary tools.  

FAMILY OWNED
We thank you for joining us on our winemaking journey, and hope that you can join us in our Santa Maria tasting room to share some great wine and conversation.
– Cameron, Marlen, and Miles Porter.
