Our Ancient Vines Mourvèdre offers distinct chocolate characteristics and a
luscious deep plum flavor. Tannins are soft with a substantial mouth-feel.
The Ancient Vines Mourvèdre draws from some of our oldest, most
historic and shyest-bearing vineyard blocks. These blocks produce fruit that is
of stunning concentration. We are able to reach this concentration as a result
of sensitive farming practices, the singular Oakley terroir, and a unique cooling band of air that flows in from the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers. By naturally restricting yields to only 2 to 3 tons per acre we are able to achieve a sublime expression of the Mourvèdre fruit.
