✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the rocky, volcanic soils of the Weill a Way Vineyard situated at the foot of the Mayacamas Mountains in Sonoma Valley, Bedrock Wine Co.'s Mixed Blacks is a masterful tribute to California's rich history of field blends. Proprietor Peter Weill's meticulously farmed vineyard provides an exceptional canvas for this robust red. While Bedrock is famous for championing centenarian vines, this site allows them to apply their signature minimal-intervention philosophy to a younger, thoughtfully planted mix of dark-skinned varieties—typically dominated by Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre, alongside other traditional 'mixed blacks.' Fermented with native yeasts and often incorporating whole clusters, the wine is aged in French oak barrels to preserve its intense, savory character. It beautifully marries the wild, peppery, and dark-fruit profile of the Rhône varieties with the distinctively stony, iron-rich minerality derived from the vineyard's cobbly volcanic terroir.
🍾 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.
