✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Evangelho Vineyard in Contra Costa County, this wine is a tribute to California's viticultural history. Planted in the 1890s, the ancient, own-rooted Carignan vines survive in deep, wind-blown Delhi blow-sand soils that look more like a beach than a typical vineyard. These sandy soils acted as a natural barrier against phylloxera, preserving these historic vines for over a century. Situated near the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, the vineyard is swept by cool delta breezes that preserve the grape's natural acidity and prolong the growing season. Bedrock Wine Co. crafts this single-vineyard bottling with minimal intervention, utilizing native yeast fermentation and aging in neutral French oak to allow the unique terroir to shine. The resulting wine is remarkably vibrant and complex, offering a beautiful tension between bright pomegranate, dark wild plum, savory dried herbs, and a distinct, mineral-driven salinity that is characteristic of 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.
