✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Bedrock Wine Co.’s ‘Ode to Lulu’ is a heartfelt liquid homage to the late Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier, the legendary matriarch of Bandol who came to define the soulful, structured potential of Mediterranean-style ros . While most modern ros s are crafted from young, high-yielding vines as an afterthought, Bedrock sources grapes for this cuv from some of California’s oldest, most historic plantings of Mourv dre and Grenache, with some vines dating back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sourced from prized heritage sites, including the deep, wind-swept sands of Oakley in Contra Costa County, the grapes are picked specifically for ros to preserve their bright, natural acidity. Fermented with native yeasts and aged primarily in stainless steel and neutral oak, this pale, copper-hued wine balances vibrant citrus and stone fruit notes with a deep, savory, and mineral-driven complexity that honors its old-school French inspiration.
🍾 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.
