2023 Heirloom Carbonic Grenache

Organically Grown

And we’re back! This Grenache is a testament to the season—every harvest leaves its mark, and this one gave us something special. A long, cool vintage delivered a grip of chewy tannins rarely found in a carbonic Grenache, and we couldn’t be more stoked. It brings a Campari-like bite to a wine that’s otherwise an explosion of juicy, electric fruit. Carbonic fermentation pulls out all the best parts of Grenache—fresh, gluggable, and crunchy. The first sip bursts with raspberry sherbet, blackberry, and red licorice, while lighter, more lifted notes of cranberry and blood orange keep it racing toward a bright, clean finish. It’s the kind of wine that makes you want to put on the soundtrack from the first season of The White Lotus and let the night unfold.

This is old-vine fruit with real history. Planted in the 1920s, Venturi Vineyard sits at 700 feet in Calpella, CA, farmed organically and dry-farmed by third-generation grower Larry Venturi. The Grenache here—Clone A—traces its roots to Château de Beaucastel in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, by way of Tablas Creek.

Big flavors, deep history, zero pretense. Just how we like it.

Always (and only) minimal Sulfites added.
