Details

From the Winery: The Old Oak Vineyard is part of the Paso Robles Willow Creek District and features 21 acres of organic, dry-farmed grapes of 11 different varieties. The vineyard sits above 1300 feet, and features heavily calcareous soils.

Vaccarèse is one of the rarest grapes in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, with just over 10 acres planted there. As far as we know, this is one of two vineyards in North America that grows this grape. We were thrilled to have another opportunity to work with this rare and unique variety in 2023 after small yields kept us from making this wine in 2022 ... Even so, we only produced a mere 48 cases!

In 2023 the Vaccarèse spent 14 days on the skins with 50% whole cluster inclusion. After fermentation, the wine was pressed and aged in neutral French oak barrels for 10 months. This wine feels undeniably Rhône-esque but with added rustic characteristics reminiscent of Mondeuse.

Tasting notes: orange peel, candied red fruit, pencil lead, peppercorn.
