✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bedrock Wine Co.’s "Drummond's Cuvee" Petite Sirah is a liquid monument to California's viticultural history. The wine is named in honor of Captain James Drummond, a pioneering Scottish immigrant who established Dunfillan Winery in the late 19th century and was among the first to import Petite Sirah (Durif) and Syrah cuttings from the Rh$ne Valley to Sonoma. Sourced from ancient, head-trained vines in the historic Bedrock Vineyard—some of which trace their lineage directly back to Drummond's original 1880s estate—this cuvé is a masterclass in power and complexity. True to Bedrock's field-blend philosophy, the wine is dominated by Petite Sirah but often co-fermented with small percentages of complementary heritage varieties like Peloursin and Syrah. Winemaker Morgan Twain-Peterson MW employs minimal-intervention techniques, utilizing native yeast fermentation and aging in French oak barrels to preserve the dark, brooding fruit, intense structural tannins, and deep savory complexity that define this historic site.
🍾 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.
