• Product Details

  

  Sourced from our sustainably farmed vineyards, 60% of the grapes come from our Contra Costa vineyards and the rest from our Sonoma Coast vineyards. Sonoma Coast is known for its cool breezes and fog layers due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean. This produces extraordinary, late ripening and delicious Syrah and Grenache. Our Contra Costa vineyards are some of the oldest in California and the world - sand-soils, dry-farmed and own rooted - these vineyards have stood the test of time and produce mouth-watering Mourvèdre. Grapes were handpicked, crushed, destemmed and pumped to a fermentor. Select wine yeast carried out the fermentation. The temperature was held to 85 degrees to gain the ideal extraction of tannins, flavors and color while still retaining the fresh fruit component of the grapes. The wine was pressed and combined with free-run juice into another tank to complete the malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged for 12 months in a combination of new and neutral oak before filtering and bottling.
