Episode 176 - Natalie Bath, Rudd Estate by Michelle Mandro

Episode 176 - Natalie Bath, Rudd Estate

I was intrigued to meet Natalie Bath of Rudd Estates...we were having such a great conversation I went off script and didn't get to all my talking points.  Rudd Estates is family owned and produces exquisite wines under Natalie's tootalage. Oh, it is primarily a one woman show. Meet Natalie Bath.

Woman In Wine. Head Winemaker Natalie Bath of Rudd Estates

A native Californian, growing up in St. Helena, Natalie came back to the Napa Valley after graduating college and fell back in love with the beauty of the Napa Valley. Growing up with a Master Sommelier father, she knew if she wanted to change career paths to the wine industry she would need to do something different. Natalie did a harvest at Etude in 2010, embracing the long hours, manual labor, and comradery that comes with cleaning. She was hooked! Natalie spent the first part of the 2011 vintage in the Southern Hemisphere at Villa Maria in New Zealand and the second part of 2011 at Littorai in Sebastopol, getting her first experience with biodynamics working under Ted Lemon. Not knowing where to go next, a conversation with her longtime friend, Samantha Rudd, turned into an opportunity to work harvest at Rudd Oakville Estate in 2012. “It was like finally coming home”, Natalie says. “I grew up playing in the vineyards and running around the property as a kid. Something just felt right.” When harvest finished, Natalie began hosting guests who were visiting the Estate, hoping to continue working at Rudd in any area she could. In 2014, Natalie joined the Winemaking team fulltime as a cellar hand and became the oenologist in 2016. An opportunity of a lifetime presented itself, allowing Natalie to travel overseas to work harvest at Château Pétrus in 2016. Coming back from her travels refreshed and rejuvenated, Natalie became the Assistant Winemaker in 2017 at Rudd Estate, and the following year the lead Winemaker for Crossroads. If you haven't already listened to the round table discussion on the Wine Business x COVID_19, listen to it here!

Exploring the Crossroads of Farming & Winemaking with Natalie Bath

In Episode 68 of the Mr. Wine Guy Podcast I had the privilege of sitting down with Natalie Bath, Winemaker for Crossroads by Rudd out of Oakville, CA. In this episode Natalie shares her incredible journey in the wine industry going all the way back to when she was just a child being raised in the heart of Napa Valley. It's safe to say wine has always been a huge part of Natalie's life and being surrounded by some of the most influential people in the wine industry has been key to all of her success. Natalie shares what it was like to work alongside Ted Lemon at Littorai Wines in Sebastopol, CA and what it was like to accept an internship at the iconic Chateau Petrus during the 2016 vintage. Natalie talks about her time at Rudd, what it's like to be the winemaker for Crossroads, the meaning of the name, and the purpose behind the brand. Natalie also shares a couple incredible stories about Leslie Rudd, founder of Rudd Estate who's one of the most iconic and influential people Napa Valley ever had the privilege of knowing.   So sit back, relax, and get ready, because you are going to love this episode.
