✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Nervo Ranch Heritage Red is born from one of the most dramatic and historic vineyards in Sonoma County's Alexander Valley. Originally planted in 1896 by Frank Nervo on steep, south-facing slopes of decomposed shale, this vineyard is a viticultural marvel that survived Prohibition by selling grapes for sacramental wine. Unlike many Zinfandel-dominated field blends, Nervo Ranch is distinguished by a remarkably high percentage of Negrette (historically known as Pinot St. George), alongside Zinfandel, Carignan, Alicante Bouschet, and Grand Noir. The poor, rocky soils and intense exposure yield a wine of unique character, marked by high-toned red fruit, savory dried herbs, white pepper, and a distinct mineral spine. Bedrock Wine Co. co-ferments these ancient varieties using native yeasts and ages the wine in large-format, neutral French oak barrels to preserve the singular, historic voice of this steep hillside 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.
