Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard
Restless Earth Petite Sirah
Santa Barbara County, Central Coast, California, USA
Chill 10 minutes before serving. Tasting notes of pomegranate, raspberry, red cherry, white pepper. A hand-crafted Grenache from the high-elevation Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard reveals bright red fruit notes.
The very atmosphere of the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard feels wild and restless. Sited between 2800-3200 feet above sea level, this is the highest elevation vineyard in Santa Barbara County and covers hills and mountain plateaus. The high-elevation location provides more UV intensity than anywhere else in the county, while a 30-40 degree daily temperature swing helps keep the grapes protected from the sun’s intensity. This unique and extreme location provides the grapes for the 2018 Grenache, which were picked at night and fermented whole-cluster. With naturally beautiful aromatics, the result is a light ruby red wine – fresh and fruity with silky tannins, lean acidity, and a long finish.
