This 100% Vermentino is a vibrant expression of both site and thoughtful winemaking. Sourced entirely from CCOF Certified Organic fruit at Loma Seca Vineyard in Paso Robles, the 2025 vintage reflects the purity and vitality that comes from meticulous organic farming. The vines thrive in sandy, well-draining soils, producing small, concentrated berries with naturally balanced acidity and depth of flavor.

Hand-harvested in the cool early morning hours to preserve freshness, the fruit was delivered to press. After a gentle pressing, the juice was transferred to an 80-gallon terracotta amphora, where both fermentation and aging took place. The wine remained on its lees for nearly five months, developing texture and complexity before being bottled in late March.

Crafted in a minimalist style, this amphora-fermented Vermentino benefits from the natural properties of clay — allowing for subtle oxygen exchange and steady temperature regulation throughout the process. The result is a wine with enhanced structure, layered aromatics, and a clear expression of the vineyard. While Vermentino remains a rare varietal in California, it continues to feel right at home in Paso Robles, offering a fresh yet textural white wine that speaks to both tradition and place. This wine walks the line between freshness and depth — capturing the coastal energy of the vineyard while building subtle structure and complexity over time.
