✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The Kobler Family Vineyard, nestled in the cool, fog-laden Green Valley of the Russian River Valley, serves as the cradle for this Northern Rhône-inspired masterpiece. Planted on classic Goldridge sandy loam soils, this unique terroir experiences dramatic diurnal temperature shifts, allowing the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining vibrant acidity. In a nod to the traditional techniques of Côte-Rôtie, Pax co-ferments this Syrah with a small percentage of Viognier grown on the same estate. This co-fermentation elevates the wine's aromatics, weaving together dark, savory elements of cracked black pepper, game, and olive tapenade with a delicate, unexpected lift of stone fruit and floral blossoms. Crafted with whole-cluster fermentation and aged in neutral French oak, this wine is a testament to the elegance and complexity achievable in California's coolest coastal pockets.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Pax Wines blev grundlagt i 2000 af Pax og Pam Mahle og er et anerkendt vinhus beliggende i Sebastopol i Sonoma County, Californien. Vingården er kendt som en pioner inden for 'New California'-bølgen og har særligt fokus på kystnære terroirs med køligt klima i Sonoma og Mendocino County. Hos Pax arbejder man ud fra en minimalistisk, klassisk europæisk tilgang til vinfremstillingen med brug af helklasegæring, vildgær samt modning på neutrale franske egetræsfade og betontanke for at bevare renhed og friskhed. Vinhuset er især berømmet for sine stilskabende, mineralske og krydrede Syrah-vine – herunder aftapningerne fra Sonoma-Hillsides og Alder Springs Vineyard – foruden dynamiske, terroirprægede fortolkninger af Gamay, Chenin Blanc og historiske druesorter.
