Our estate’s compelling history – from harboring whale-birthing grounds, to the lasting limestone seabed – contributes to some of the most alluring wines. Evidence of this bygone era, from 14 million years prior, endures in the form of whale fossils that dot our land and an abundant limestone understory. Limestone is rare in California; the west side of Paso Robles and Templeton contain the state’s largest exposed limestone layer. This coveted foundation, including the one the MAHA resides upon, lends a similar environ to the finest wine regions on the planet. It also allows for naturally enduring vines. Calcareous soils have exceptional water retention without over-saturation. This mitigates the need for irrigation, even during drought years. Instead, grapevine roots are encouraged to penetrate the soil in search of water and micronutrients. These roots will grow deeper throughout the life of the vine. Soils rich in calcium help maintain acidity in grapes late into the growing season, and contribute significantly to the energy and purity of the wines. The aging potential of wines grown in limestone is nothing short of remarkable. We are fortunate to farm our land on this ancient platform that is profuse in archeological history and unlimited in potential.\nPHILOSOPHY\nWe are loyal to our natural surroundings and seek to understand them rather than control them. We treat our farm like the living, breathing organism that it is: sixty acres (24.25 ha) surrounded by oak forests and chaparral, fed by mountain springs and seasonal creeks, and teaming with wildlife; a majestic property that rises in elevation from 1500 ft to 1800 ft (450 m to 550 m) above sea level, and feels the subtle sway of the ocean’s influence 14 miles (22.5 km) away.\nGRAPES\nGrenache is the mainstay of the MAHA Estate. We began walking west Paso Robles Grenache vineyards in 2001, when it became evident this grape belongs on these west side, limestone slopes. Here at MAHA, Grenache gracefully thrives in synchronicity with our natural surroundings. Carignan, Mourvèdre, Petite Sirah, Syrah, Clairette and Roussanne each play an eloquent, supporting role in our wines. Taking a cue from those who have been farming Grenache and Carignan for hundreds of years – Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas and Priorat – we head prune our vineyard rather than trellis. As harvest nears and the sun intensifies, leaves on the head pruned canes provide natural shading to ripen the grapes, uniformly, to their fullest potential.\nINPUTS\nOur taste buds informed us early on that the very best wines are grown without chemical herbicides and pesticides, and are irrigated only by rainfall. We feed the soil and vines with natural farm-made inputs, consisting of microorganism cocktails, herbal teas, and compost teas. The cadence of our surroundings, including the sun, moon, planets and stars, assist in the timing of our farming and winery practices. A healthy cover crop is permitted to flower, feeding the bees and insects. Vine rows are mown down in late spring, providing mulch during the growing season; decomposition then nourishes surface roots. We often refrain from irrigation, encouraging vines to dig deeper in search of water and nutrients. Though much of the magic happens well below the earth’s surface, it is governed harmoniously by the gentle rhythms of the universe.\nANIMALS\nWe steward the land by embracing biodiversity. Our flock of sheep roams the vineyard in winter and spring, until buds break, nibbling on grass and fertilizing as they go. Our three Anatolian-Pyrenees protect the sheep from mountain lions and coyotes, and safeguard the grapes from birds and ground squirrels. Chickens, pigs and goats rotate through our pastures, bringing balance to the soil and surroundings. We facilitate the existence of diverse flora and fauna in service of our wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46267001143547,"sku":"00075496","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/303cb96ccfca4e5cee54f01acdadb0c7.jpg?v=1720731079"},{"product_id":"bitoque-en-tinaja-negra-criolla-camargo-cinti-valley-bo-2022","title":"Bitoque - 'En Tinaja' - Negra Criolla - Camargo, Cinti Valley, BO - 2022","description":"\u003cp\u003eNegra Criolla Tinaja 100% Negra Criolla (aka Listán Prieto or País) from 100-200-year-old untrained, ungrafted vines that climb up the sides of the local Pink Peppercron trees. The soils are sand and the vines are at 2300-2400m. Grapes were harvested by hand, destemmed and fermented in ancient clay tinajas without temperature control. After fermentation, the wine was moved to rest for 4 months in a 500L steel tank and bottled without fining, filtering, or sulfur addition 4 months later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e===\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree hours into the mountains from the southern city of Tarija en route to Potosi, the Cinti Valley is among the highest growing regions in the Americas. Located in the Andean region in the southwest of Bolivia at 2400 meters above sea level, many of the country's vineyards grow in locations more than a mile high. The land-locked country is home to a huge variety of terrain and climates with a high level of biodiversity. It is partly due to this difficult terrain that Bolivia’s wine production has yet to catch up to other countries in South America, and mostly that conventional wineries choose to grow and produce international varietals that are not indigenous to the land. When the Spanish colonized Bolivia, they left behind vines of Negra Criolla and Moscatel de Alejandria. Even after the war, the Spaniards returned in an attempt to take the vines back, yet they were unsuccessful. \nToday, these ancient ungrafted vines are farmed by local farmers. The vines climb up the abundant Pink Peppercorn (Schinus molle) trees, whose canopies protect them from the intense, high altitude sun. The dry climate and the age of the hardy, well-adapted vines make chemical treatments and heavy pruning unnecessary. Bitoque focuses on these old vines to produce Negra Criolla (also known as Listan Prieto in the Canary Islands or Pais in the Western Hemisphere), Moscatel de Alejandria, and an indigenous natural hybrid cross of the two known as Vischoqueña. In the cellar, the wines are made simply and without machines; macerations are short, alcohol levels are low, and no additives are employed. \nBitoque began as a collaborative effort with Alejandro’s late father Herland Medina, a Bolivian native, who searched for ancient vineyards that met Alejandro’s specifications. After searching for vines that met their requirements, they discovered that there was a bounty of old vines to work with. The project began in 2018 with its first vintage in 2019.\nAlejandro Medina is the Owner and Managing Partner at Bibi Ji, Santa Barbara’s first modern Indian restaurant and natural wine bar, JuiceBox, a low-intervention wine distribution company in Colorado, and makes his own wine in Bolivia under the label Bitoque. Having traveled to Bolivia since a newborn, it is the inspiration from his homeland to make these wines and share them with the world. Bitoque is the first natural wine from Bolivia to come to the US after years in the making. \nHaving grown up in Santa Barbara, he has strong ties to the region and its food and wine industry. At just 38 years old, Medina has become a fixture in the local Santa Barbara restaurant community. In 2018, Medina partnered with James Beard award-winning sommelier Rajat Parr to open Bibi Ji, a restaurant offering an approachable and modern twist on traditional Indian cuisine, in Santa Barbara. The now Michelin-recognized and critically acclaimed restaurant opened in February of that year. The wine program reflects the beliefs and ideologies of the two, only offering rare, honest, and non-intervention wines. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46396831826171,"sku":"00075567","price":63.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/f6e1727a84e69405eb677a860fb8ea7e.jpg?v=1723584231"},{"product_id":"domaine-laustral-pourpre-cabernet-franc-chenin-blanc-grolleau-gris-loire-valley-fr-2021-1500ml","title":"Domaine l'Austral - 'Pourpre' - Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc, Grolleau Gris - Loire Valley, FR - 2021 - 1500ml","description":"\u003ch2\u003eSatellite's Hot Take\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn incredibly subtle and elegant - if unusual - blend.

For this red, the name evokes an approachable, lively, and naturally expressive character, reflecting its easy-drinking style.\nTerroir: Clay-limestone soils.\nYield: A low yield of 30 hectoliters per hectare, indicating concentrated fruit from the old vines.\nVintage Notes (2023 Provence - Red Grapes): The 2023 vintage in Provence was generally characterized by warm and dry conditions, with a very dry start to the year. However, late summer rains helped bring balance. For red wines, this resulted in grapes that were generally ripe and concentrated, producing wines with good fruit intensity and freshness. The careful organic farming and winemaking at Domaine de la Cavalière would have focused on capturing the vibrant fruit and inherent drinkability, even in a warm vintage.\nVinification and Aging: Domaine de la Cavalière applies its rigorous natural winemaking principles to \"Biquette\" Rouge. Following hand-harvesting, the wine undergoes a cold pre-fermentation infusion, followed by liquid-phase fermentation. Alcoholic fermentation occurs spontaneously with indigenous yeasts in stainless steel tanks, with no additions. Vinification and aging take place exclusively in stainless steel vats, ensuring no oak influence and preserving the wine's freshness and primary fruit characteristics. The wine is unclarified and unfiltered, receiving only a homeopathic dose of SO2 at bottling, reflecting the domaine's commitment to natural expression.\nAppearance: The wine displays a bright, charming ruby red color, likely with purple or translucent edges, indicative of its youthful and lightly extracted style. Its clarity reflects its natural presentation.\nNose: The nose is charming with lifted aromas of fresh forest fruits, notably red berries like wild strawberry and raspberry, along with juicy cherry. Hints of floral notes from the Cinsault and perhaps a delicate spiciness from the Syrah add complexity, making for a very inviting and pure aromatic profile.\nPalate: The palate is immediate and juicy, presenting a fluid and light body that is exceptionally drinkable. It is pleasantly fresh, marked by vibrant fruit, especially cherry, which intensifies the sapidity at the finish. The wine is characterized by its remarkable drinkability, offering a refreshing and very enjoyable experience that reflects the simplicity and natural expression of the grapes and terroir. The tannins are very soft and well-integrated.\nBody: Light-bodied, with a fluid texture.\nFinish: The finish is pleasant and juicy, with the cherry fruit and sapidity intensifying, leaving a refreshing and highly quaffable impression.\nFood Pairing Suggestions: This \"Biquette\" Rouge is designed for enjoyment and versatility, especially for lighter occasions. It is perfect to drink with a cheese board and goes well with a variety of pasta dishes. Its light, fresh, and juicy character also makes it ideal for roasted poultry or lighter proteins like pork, grilled or oven-roasted vegetables (butternut squash, leeks, fennel), and starters. It can even be served slightly chilled.\nPotential for Aging: The 2023 Domaine de la Cavalière Vin Rouge \"Biquette\" is crafted for immediate pleasure and its fresh, juicy profile. While its natural purity will allow it to remain enjoyable, it is best consumed within 1-3 years of its vintage (until 2025-2027) to appreciate its lively fruit and drinkability.

When WW1 is declared in 1914 and the country is annexed, Léon is among the millions of Belgians who flee. He travels through France by bicycle and takes refuge in the Lot.\u003cbr\u003eLater, his son, Charles Verhaeghe, meets Marie-Thérèse Rives, whose family owns a traditional multi-crop farm in Vire-sur-Lot. While cultivating the land and his love for it, he develops a growing desire to expand the scope of his practice. He watches with fascination as some of his neighbours transform their grapes: his project is clear. He too wants to produce his own wine.\u003cbr\u003eThe couple continue their multi-crop farming activities and plant their first hectare of vines alongside the lavender in 1958. This piece of land, characterised by limestone scree cones, forms part of the great terroir we know today.\u003cbr\u003e1973 sees the result of all the hard work. Self-taught, Charles and Marie Thérèse Verhaeghe carry out their first wine bottling, alongside their usual distillation of lavender.\u003cbr\u003eWhen Charles is diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 1987, the work becomes too difficult. His sons, Pascal and Jean-Marc, decide to return to the estate to help him.\u003cbr\u003ePascal, trained in viticulture and winemaking at Jean-Marie Guffens and then in Napa Valley, and Jean-Marc, a graduate of La Tour Blanche in Sauternes, have the necessary knowledge and desire to manage the vineyard.\u003cbr\u003eWorking in synergy, they inject their enthusiasm into the business and constantly experiment. Quality becomes the absolute priority.\u003cbr\u003eWith this common goal, they share the work: Jean-Marc makes cultivating the vines his speciality and Pascal devotes himself to making, maturing, and marketing the wine. In fifteen years, they take Château du Cèdre to the top of the Cahors appellation.\u003cbr\u003eToday, they are still pioneering, supported by an excellent team. Pascal’s sons Jules and Robin have joined the family business, bringing a new dynamic to the estate.\u003cbr\u003eThe vineyard’s three parcels have the best two soil types in the Cahors appellation area.\u003cbr\u003eOne of parcels is established on a cone of limestone scree, on the hillsides of Bru. The quaternary ice-age broke down the limestone sides surrounding this plot of land. Over the centuries, these scree slopes have created the soil of today.\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes from this rare terroir are characterised by great finesse and aromatic complexity.\u003cbr\u003eThe other two parcels are located on two distinct, though geologically identical, ridges. These are the Mindel high terraces, formed 500,000 years ago from the river’s alluvial deposits. This soil is made of rolled pebbles mixed with reddish ferruginous sand on the surface, while clay and silica dominate the deeper levels.\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes from this terroir are characterised by a great richness and density.\u003cbr\u003eThe specific micro-climate at Chateau de Cèdre has a lot of influence on its terroir. At equal distance from the Atlantic Ocean, The Pyrenees Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, the climate is oceanic until June then Mediterranean from the month of July. In September, the river Lot cools the air, and the autumn wind blows across the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur objective is to exploit the full potential of our grapes. To achieve this, no oenological inputs are used during the vinification process. Wine production is carried out with indigenous yeasts and without added sulphites.\u003cbr\u003eAs a result of these choices, we have observed finer tannins and greater aromatic complexity.\u003cbr\u003eThis way or working requires technical skill. The grapes are perfectly ripe and healthy. The hygiene of the cellar is rigorous. Fermentation starts quickly using the pieds de cuve technique and is completed in the best possible conditions: temperatures are controlled to provide the yeasts with the ideal environment for their development.\u003cbr\u003eAs with the vinification process, our wines are matured without oenological input. Control is crucial, because Malbec is a grape variety with character, which requires time.\u003cbr\u003eThe wines mature on the lees in large containers, 500-litre barrels, and foudres. They evolve freely in ideal conditions of temperature and hygrometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur thinking on organic agriculture began in the early 1990s. We stopped using chemical weedkillers in 1992 and ten years later we abandoned synthetic plant protection products altogether. In 2012, we were certified as organic.\u003cbr\u003eTo preserve microbiological life and minimise soil compaction, the vineyards are grassed between rows and we work with straddle tractors. The various tasks such as pruning, thinning-out, de-budding, lifting, leaf removal and green harvesting are all still carried out by hand.\u003cbr\u003eEvery year we analyse the branches and the soil from the three vineyards. These results, supported by our own observations, enable us to better understand the relationship between the plant and the soil and ensure balance for the vines.\u003cbr\u003eGreat wines generally come from old vines. Our viticultural practices are therefore primarily aimed at keeping these precious old vines in production. However, their life expectancy is not eternal. Each year, we work to replace the vines one by one, as they disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47782246088955,"sku":"00077018","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/7114be2d1f94bfceb1d1811f209c9ed0.jpg?v=1766206051"},{"product_id":"escoda-sanahuja-nas-del-gegant-field-blend-catalunya-es-2023","title":"Escoda-Sanahuja - 'Nas del Gegant' - Field Blend - Catalunya, ES - 2023","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA kitchen-sink blend of cabernet franc, sumoll, red grenache, and macabeo.

There is a small farm with chickens, turkeys, sheep, cows and horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis helps complete the biodynamic cycle of life on the farm. This enables them to supply their own composts completing the cycle of life on the farm, and independent of foreign chemicals. It’s fundamental for working the land in a natural way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA living ground cover always protects the soil of the vineyards in order to maintain their blance and ensure that the soil is rich humus and microorganisms.

Over the years, we have grafted some of our Pinot Noir to heritage Chardonnay clones from Clos Pepe and Sanford vineyards and additional clone 96 Chardonnay.  Another 2 acres of pinot noir was grafted to Syrah along with 2 acres of Gamay Noir and 1\/3 acre of heritage Riesling from Lafond vineyard.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough we are not a certified organic vineyard, vineyard practices are strictly organic. Our farming approach strives for balance, harmony and co-existence between the vines and plant, animal and insect populations. We use no pesticides or herbicides and only organic fertilizers.

The name inspires us to discover and unearth the treasures in the soils of the California Central Coast. Our decisions have always been personal (not commercial) and involve what we call “conscious farming”. As we learn about our little piece of earth and our place in it, the picture begins to widen. We’ve incorporated chickens, grazing sheep, the lunar calendar, biodynamic compost, preparations and teas all to support the microorganisms in the dirt and health of the vineyard. We have a feeling of connectedness as each trip around the sun gives us the chance to experience the magical process of exchange from the dirt, plants, fruit, wine, humans, sky, moon, sun and stars.\u003cbr\u003eAnna \u0026amp; David deLaski\u003cbr\u003eFarming winemakers\u003cbr\u003eThe first seed was planted meeting in 2009 and falling in love with Santa Barbara wine country and each other. We married soon after and while visiting Anna’s family in Austria, a desire to settle down and create a life together in a more agricultural setting started to take root. A chance meeting with a winemaking mentor and a property for sale with vines in the front yard grew into something we could no longer ignore. We went “all in” and decided to buy a fixer farmhouse and vineyard in Los Olivos and call the fruits of our labor of love “Solminer”.\u003cbr\u003eEstate deLanda Farm and Vineyard\u003cbr\u003eCertified Regenerative Organic and Biodynamic\u003cbr\u003eWe named our home vineyard “deLanda” a combination of our first and last names.

First certified organic in 2014, Biodynamic in 2018 and ROC Regenerative Organic in 2021, deLanda is evolving as we evolve as farmers.

We’ve rounded things out with a bit of Muscat to create an Austrian inspired dry “Muskateller” and some Syrah for Rose, Sparkling Syrah, a blend and a single vineyard Syrah.

Because he grew up within the culture of wine and California winemaking, he was perpetually under the tutelage of both father Chris and friend Burt Williams, founder of the legendary Williams-Selyem winery in Sonoma. During a two year stint in Australia working at Green Vineyards with first-generation Italo-Australian and biodynamic guru Sergio Carlei, he got a good taste of certain practices he wanted to implement, not only in the vineyard and winery but also on the business side. Now Drake is vinifying with the same old school techniques his dad used (hand-harvesting, foot-pressing etc, no added enzymes or coloration) and with much veneration to Mother Nature herself.\nHis vineyards all use organic and\/or biodynamic practices to produce Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Syrah, Zinfandel, Gamay, Trousseau, and Grenache of distinction; he does not de-stem or add water. Drake has chosen to inoculate only with the Williams Selyem strain, a yeast native to the Jackass Hill portion of Lino Martinelli’s Zinfandel vineyard on the Russian River. “It’s a super yeast,” he says “guaranteed to ferment.” Whole cluster fermentation is never subject to pump over and the wines are not racked off the lees. He hand fills and hand corks each bottle. The wine receives just enough SO2 to stabilize it, and the production is super small. It's the only inoculation we allow for still wines at Satellite... in that it's really a wild yeast strain identified and used as part of a natural process. \nThe resulting wines are clean and impeccably balanced. They represent a cross section of the emerging class of site-specific wines coming out of Central Coast California today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48855634542843,"sku":"00077353","price":55.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/eb13521c52adae7cfeb48ca4d60118b8.jpg?v=1778620889"},{"product_id":"nowadays-wines-pet-nat-riesling-santa-barbara-county-ca-2025","title":"Nowadays Wines - 'Pet Nat' - Riesling - Santa Barbara County, CA - 2025","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e1\/2 of the lot was foot\ntrod and macerated on skins for 1 week,\nthen pressed directly to old French oak\nto finish primary.

We leverage ancient and bleeding edge post modern wine technologies to improve the carbon footprint of the farming and beverage sectors, by up-cycling fruit that normally spoils at various positions in the supply chain, particularly at the farm level. \nWe connect with organic whole sale farmers to ferment and distill fruits and sugar sources -that would normally be wasted- into unique, organic natural wines.  \nWe’ve conducted bench trials on wines and ciders we’ve made from over 120 fruits which are grown nearby in California’s Central Valley, the farming capital of the world. \nOur winery project is predicated on a return to the Dionysian. The industrialization of wine has wreaked havoc on our bodies and our palates, predicating wine to a cheap copy of a few European styles. The wild characteristics of fermentation have all been minimized so as to barely exist. Instead of the 50+ wild yeasts we find on our grapes, most wineries jump straight to one, which is usually cultivated on big sheets of plastic in factories. Through filtration, fining, over 96 additives, and a laundry list of other horrors, wine gets rectified to some sort of chemical solution that fits some kind of weird, ghost of a taste profile which probably never really existed, because those profiles are all based on thousands of years of natural, more wild, winemaking. Our wines are alive in the bottle. They change over time. We get bottle bouquet in a way that a sterile filtered wine (or worse, one chemically murdered) never could. Is there more risk? Potentially. But we know wines made properly and naturally can last over 100 years and still be drinkable, magical even. We do not have any sterile filtered or chemically murdered wines that old, because the technology has simply not been around that long. \nWe do brix tests on our wines after crush. That’s it for our chemistry set. Everything else is done by feel, smell, and taste, because that is how the wines will be rated. We are open to mystery in our winemaking. We are open to non-knowledge. We have things we learn, and try to repeat sometimes, but we go with nature’s rhythms. We have wines which are cooked in the sun, wines which are cold stabilized by the gods when winter comes. We pick our vineyard 8-10 times based on feel and taste. \nScience’s greatest triumph is it’s own refutation: observing a system disturbs it and can change the outcome by attempting to look too closely, rate it and quantify whats happening. We are anti-observation in our winemaking. We often leave ferments or aging wines for very long periods of time. This physically reduces the chance of spoiling things by jamming tools into the wines, and also in some moments allows protective gases to build around the wines. But for the mental clarity of the winemaker, it is also a triumph to embrace the unknown and give up on the paranoia of constant testing (we never started). We often bottle our wines slightly sweet to preserve them naturally with carbon dioxide from the final moments of fermentation. When the wine is ready, we will recieve an auspicious signal from Dionysos. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48855690084603,"sku":"00077267","price":10.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/f96889fe4a242d84f1e33936f92de404.jpg?v=1778622391"},{"product_id":"amevive-peripherie-ibarra-young-vineyard-marsanne-syrah-mourvedre-santa-ynez-valley-ca-2025","title":"Âmevive - 'Peripherie - Ibarra-Young Vineyard' - Marsanne, Syrah, Mourvèdre - Santa Ynez Valley, CA - 2025","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese vines are part of the original planting by Charlotte Young in 1971. The 2025 vintage marked these vine’s 54th year. This wine comes from the far western side of the property - the edge, or the “périphérie”. While the majority of the old vines in the vineyard have typically three foot shoots, and moderately sized clusters, the “périphérie” row can have up to 10 feet long canes sprawling onto the ground, often with football-sized clusters. I felt there could be a more intentional use for this anomalous, higher-vigor section rather than simply blending it into the block-designate wines. So, as an ode to the traditional way of harvesting, and in an effort to make a fresh wine out of a serious vineyard, I made a co-fermented field blend. In some ways, it is the truest representation of the site, as it comprises all three original blocks. It is a special wine, and it holds a special place in our hearts!\nPériphérie was harvested in the early morning of September 18, 2025. The ratio of each of the three varieties was determined by the fruitfulness of vines as we worked up the two “peripherie” designate rows. This year the blend is about 55% Marsanne, 35% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre. The Marsanne, Syrah, and Mourvedre were harvested into the same picking bins and brought to the cellar to be destemmed together into a two-ton fermenter. After native fermentation commenced, this wine was made with more “infusion” than extraction. We used minimal pour overs and only the lightest love touches. 2025 Périphérie was sent to press after 11 days on skins.

Today, we celebrate this duo by designating these 10 acres as the Ibarra-Young Vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIbarra-Young Vineyard was one of the first vineyards planted in the Santa Ynez Valley and has so much soul you can feel it. The first 3 acres were planted in 1971 and 3 more acres were planted in 1973. In the late 90's and early 2000's Bob Lindquist completed Ibarra-Young's planted acreage with the \"young\" vines in the rockier section of the vineyard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vineyard is planted to Syrah and Mourvèdre planted in 1971, Marsanne planted in 1973, as well as suitcase clone Tempranillo and Graciano planted in the late 90's. Everything on the property is own-rooted and has been farmed organically since 1993. We began leasing and farming this special place at the beginning of 2020 and employ regenerative organic and biodynamic practices.\u003cbr\u003e​\u003cbr\u003eOur goal is to rebuild an ecosystem of native species that live alongside our vine rows, regenerate soil health, and grow the highest quality grapes this site can give. We believe the best wine grapes are grown with minimal inputs and conscious vineyard management. We reject a systematic schedule for viticulture and farming in general. We believe that by working in conjunction with nature we can increase biodiversity and soil health, minimize unnecessary sprays, minimize tractor passes and compaction, decrease water use, and reduce our carbon footprint. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe look forward to taking you along on this journey of unconventional viticulture with us.  We hope to convince you that with a lot of passion and hard work, world-class wines are made with minimal intervention in a vineyard that grows alongside a healthy living ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e​\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48855691788539,"sku":"00077262","price":43.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/1e928c7fe12a0a52eb616b65bd211d63.jpg?v=1778622540"},{"product_id":"lone-madrone-adams-ranch-vineyard-cinsault-willow-creek-district-paso-robles-ca-2024","title":"Lone Madrone - 'Adams Ranch Vineyard' - Cinsault - \"Willow Creek District, Paso Robles\", CA - 2024","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e30% Whole Cluster, Partial Carbonic Maceration.
