Carignan old vine, 2018
Produced by Two Shepherds
From a 75 year old vineyard, head trained, dry farmed, certified organic. Elegant and aromatic, juicy and easy drinking, with soft structure from 50% whole cluster, perhaps more akin to Cru Beaujolais than Carignan.

Organic Farming
Carignan, although rare in California (only 1% of red wine acres), is a perfect grape for our Mediterranean climate. We are delighted to work with the Trimble Vineyard, 2nd generation organic farmer and lease half of this special vineyard.
Interesting Winemaking Technique
50% whole cluster, native yeast fermentation
