WINEMAKING

Maayan Koschitzky, Partner

Born and raised in Israel and firmly ensconced in the Napa Valley for over a decade, Maayan Koschitzky is Director of Winemaking at Atelier Melka, with a long list of formidable clients past and present. Today he is one of the most admired and respected winemakers in California. Since 2017 he has partnered with David Green to oversee the production of all the Royal Wine & Spirits brands. With the arrival of Remington Jorgensen in 2022, he transitioned to a more mentoring, collaborating, and sourcing role.

Remington Jorgensen, Winemaker

Remie Jorgensen produces the Royal Wine & Spirits brands. She came to the firm in 2022 from Alejandro Bulgheroni Estate, after an impressive series of stages at Château de Beaucastel, Rajat Parr’s Domaine de la Côte, and Opus One. Not many winemakers can say they already wanted to be a winemaker when they were a sophomore in high school. And while she was earning a degree in Viticulture and Enology at Washington State University, Jorgensen embarked on a series of extremely impressive internships that gave her a keen appreciation for the level of attention to detail required to make world-class wine. As David told her when he hired her, “Your job is to teach me as much as you learn here.”
