100% Chardonnay from the Santa Rita Hills Appellation in Santa Barbara County. The grapes were fermented with native yeasts in concrete tanks before maturing in French oak (6% new) and stainless steel before bottling. 

Planted at 2100 feet in volcanic soils way up on Mount Veeder, Sky makes a Zinfandel like no other. Spicy, wild, and balanced, it has nothing to do with the jammy Zinfandels that California has been known for. Ageworthy and expressive, they perfectly reflect this special terroir.  Hand-harvested,...

The now mature "Bambino" vines were planted in 2000 and represent Bucklin's "young vine" Zinfandel. Fermented with indigenous yeast without any nutrient additions. Aged in neutral French oak for approximately 10 months.  

Fermented/aged in concrete for twelve months and then moved to French oak (mostly used) for an additional year.

This is bottled and made in the shared Buchegger-Mayr winery. 100% Zweigelt, grown in loess soils. The fruit is fermented on the skins and aged in wood for one year.

One of the very few wines with sweetness produced at Koehler-Ruprecht, and a predictably fine one! Steinacker translates to the "stony acre,” a sandstone+loess site characterized by pebbly rocks. Its borders were over-expanded for political purposes (like many famous sites) by the 1971 law, but...

Elbling is enjoying a small renaissance among German importers these days... but we’ve had this grape in our back pocket for years. A great old Germanic wine grape with a long history traceable to imperial Roman times, it was Germany's most cultivated variety until the early 20th century. Today its...

6.5g, 7g acid, 12% alc. Juicy, sleek, fabulously aromatic and lively DRY Riesling, grown along the Rhinefront in soils of red slate and clay, harvested in early September to capture perfect acidity with total ripeness. Yellow fruits and vivid, convincing minerality spring easily from this wine....
