2025 Grenache - Alisos Canyon AVA

This Grenache comes entirely from the newest AVA in Santa Barbara County, Alisos Canyon. Alisos Canyon is an east-west corridor in Northern Santa Barbara County composed of alluvial deposits from the Paso Robles and Franciscan formations with some limestone streaks. It is a treat to showcase this lively expression of Grenache. The grapes in this Grenache come from Martian Ranch Vineyard, a Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard situated on the south west side of Alisos Canyon. This Grenache block is a massal selection interplanted with several different clones. This block handles whole cluster really well! You can definitely feel the love at this vineyard site. Surrounded by rows of flowers, bird boxes, and Santa Barbara County oak sprinkled hills, this vineyard is truly a treat to source grapes from! It is an absolute delight to bring back one of my favorite wines I make.
