Mondavi Leading Charles Krug

By October 24, 2025Top News, VIPs

Charles Krug Winery announced a milestone moment in its 162-year history with the retirement of longtime Winemaker Stacy Clark. Fourth-generation co-proprietress and Consulting Winemaker Angelina Mondavi has assumed full leadership of winemaking at Napa Valley’s oldest estate. She becomes the first woman in her family to guide the winery’s winemaking. Mondavi brings both deep family heritage and strong academic credentials to the role. She holds an undergraduate degree in chemistry with a minor in business from Villanova University and a master’s degree in winemaking from University of Adelaide, South Australia. Over the course of more than 35 harvests across three continents, she has crafted highly acclaimed wines in Napa Valley, Australia and Argentina. Since 2022, Mondavi has served as Consulting Winemaker at Charles Krug, focusing on the estate’s Family Reserve and specialty projects. Her role expands significantly to overseeing all winemaking at Charles Krug, from vineyard to bottle, shaping the estate’s Napa Valley, Limited Release and Family Reserve wines with her own vision and style.
