✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The concept of the 'Odd Lot' is born from a time-honored winemaking tradition where unique, leftover batches of wine—the 'odd lots' that do not fit into single-varietal bottlings—are creatively blended together. Scheid Vineyards turned this quirky challenge into an art form, crafting an unconventional and bold red blend that defies traditional blending rules. Typically anchored by the powerhouse duo of Petite Sirah and Petit Verdot, this wine showcases the dramatic synergy of two deeply colored, highly structured grapes. Sourced from Scheid's estate vineyards in the warmer southern reaches of Monterey County, where the daytime heat allows these late-ripening varieties to develop rich, concentrated dark fruit flavors and velvety tannins, this wine represents a playful yet masterfully executed expression of Monterey's diverse terroir.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Scheid Vineyards blev grundlagt i 1972 af Al Scheid og er en pionervirksomhed beliggende i hjertet af Salinas Valley i Californiens Monterey County. Gennem fem årtier har den familieejede vingård udvidet sit virke til tolv unikke vinmarker, hvor man udnytter den markante, kølende havbrise fra Monterey Bay til at dyrke en bred vifte af druesorter. Vingården er dybt engageret i bæredygtighed, drives udelukkende af vedvarende vindenergi og arbejder efter strenge, certificerede bæredygtige principper. Scheid Vineyards er anerkendt for sin alsidige portefølje af levende hvid-, rød- og rosévine og fremstiller både roste enkeltdruevine på eksempelvis Cabernet Sauvignon, Albariño og Barbera samt håndværksmæssige cuvéer som deres Claret Reserve.
