✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Bedrock Vineyard Heritage Red is a liquid monument to California's viticultural history. Sourced from the iconic Bedrock Vineyard in Sonoma Valley, originally planted in 1888 by Senator George Hearst, this wine is a traditional field blend. It is dominated by ancient-vine Zinfandel, Carignan, and Mourvèdre, co-fermented with over twenty other heirloom varieties including Alicante Bouschet, Syrah, and Petite Sirah that were interplanted by pioneering immigrants. The vineyard's cobbly, well-drained soils and cool afternoon breezes from the San Pablo Bay yield fruit of remarkable concentration and bright acidity. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW employs minimal-intervention techniques, using native yeast fermentations and aging in mostly used French oak barrels to allow the unique voice of this centenarian vineyard to speak clearly. The resulting wine is deeply complex, offering a tapestry of dark bramble fruit, cracked black pepper, exotic spices, and a structured, savory finish.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Bedrock Wine Co. blev grundlagt i Sonoma, Californien, i 2007 af vinmageren Morgan Twain-Peterson MW med en dedikeret mission om at genoprette og bevare statens historiske vinmarker med gamle vinstokke. Med udgangspunkt i den legendariske Bedrock Vineyard i Sonoma Valley – som oprindeligt blev tilplantet i midten af det 19. århundrede – hylder Twain-Peterson og hans partner Chris Cottrell Californiens vinarv gennem en minimalistisk og terroir-drevet vinifikation. Vingården skaber vitale og stedtypiske vine på klassiske, historiske field blends såvel som traditionelle druesorter som Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon og Chardonnay. Bedrocks aftapninger er berømte for deres energi og autenticitet, og især den ikoniske Bedrock Heritage samt enkeltmarksvinene fra gamle vinstokke står i dag som uomgængelige pejlemærker for klassisk californisk vinkunst.
