IN THE VINEYARD
- Fruit is sourced from the renowned Fort Ross-Seaview and Sonoma Coast AVAs
- Partially sourced from Water Horse Ridge Vineyard, 1700 feet high with Pacific Ocean views
- Artisanal farming, organic methods by Jesus Velasquez and Patricia Greer, aiming for complete dry farming
- Carved from the larger Sonoma Coast AVA, the 27,500-acre Fort Ross-Seaview is famed for its high elevation, remote ruggedness, and proximity to the Pacific. Vineyards here sit atop coastal ridges, often rising above the sea of fog that engulfs much of the Sonoma Coast. While they're just a few miles from the chilly Pacific waters, their higher elevations mean they can receive more sunlight
IN THE WINERY
- Entirely whole cluster fermented, stainless steel initiation and oak barrel completion
tasting notes
- Exhibits a Loire Valley echo with its fresh earth tones and minimal barrel time
- Bursting with bright fruit, balanced by a soft, savoury, umami explosion
- Notes of deep cherry, white pepper, and maitake mushrooms, coupled with freshly turned earth and pine needles
Recommendations
- Ideal with a hearty cheese board or savoury mushroom dishes, enhancing its earthy and red fruit notes

"From 2 vineyards planted in deep sandy soil on opposite sides of the Sacramento River Delta, this is the embodiment of what makes Grenache on sand so special. It is pale, juicy, spicy and delicious, with effervescent tannins. Del Barba brings deep fruit to Abba's ethereal prettiness. Like my favourite Cru Beaujolais, it is crushable with a touch of seriousness." - John Lockwood
