Bedrock Wine Co. is renowned for its championing of California's liquid history through its 'Heritage' series of field-blend reds. While 'Farmhouse Heritage Red' represents a rare or site-specific expression of this philosophy, Bedrock's signature approach to heritage blends focuses on preserving ancient, head-trained, own-rooted vineyards planted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Typically dominated by Zinfandel, these historic field blends are co-fermented with a kaleidoscope of companion varieties such as Carignan, Mataro (Mourvedre), Syrah, and Alicante Bouschet, just as the early immigrant farmers planted them. This traditional co-fermentation coaxes out remarkable complexity, structure, and a vibrant field-blend character. Crafted with minimal intervention, native yeast fermentations, and thoughtful oak aging, this style of red wine offers a savory, spice-laden, and deeply expressive taste of California's viticultural pioneering era.
