There he produced wines under various labels including Domaine de Courteillac, Chateau Fleur Cardinal and Chateau Robin in Bordeaux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 15 years, Stephan developed his craftsmanship and gained a reputation as a maverick. This desire to be more innovative than allowed by AOC law is what ultimately led him to California. In 1996, he searched for the right vineyard location from South Africa to Lebanon and Argentina to Napa <strong>&#8212;<\/strong> until he ultimately discovered <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/wine-region\/paso-robles\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Paso Robles<\/strong><\/a>.

At the time, the region had less than 1000 acres of grapevines planted. The Hope family planted grapevines and apple trees and fast became one of the region\u2019s largest growers for Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Initially, the family had no desire to make wine. But in 1988, the Hopes opened a small tasting room while growing an ongoing collaboration with Caymus to include making and bottling the Liberty School wines coming from the Hope family\u2019s Paso Robles vineyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, in 1996, Austin and his small team released the first red blend under the Hope family Treana label. It was the first red blend in Paso Robles to combine Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The following year, the winery\u2019s new building was constructed and the family took Liberty School under the Hope Family umbrella. As the winery operations grew and new labels and wines were added &#8212; including the Austin Hope label in 2000 &#8212; the family turned their focus from farming to winemaking.
