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":47148193612027,"sku":"00076345","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/8c2ff68978dd9a22c9a505e2b98c92a3.jpg?v=1746562080"},{"product_id":"disko-north-canyon-vineyard-gruner-veltliner-santa-barbara-county-ca-2023","title":"Disko - 'North Canyon Vineyard' - Grüner Veltliner - Santa Barbara County, CA - 2023","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNorth Canyon Vineyard\n8 months on gross less-neutral french oak\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhat we are about\nDisko wines embraces the \"natural wine\" approach to winemaking.

All vineyards are farmed using organic practices. 12.9% ABV 24 barrels produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe think critically about our farm decisions and our impact on ecosystems.\nAt Madson, we believe that in order to produce great wines, one must understand the soils that lie beneath the vines and the climate that surrounds them. Only then can one understand the fruit, to make thoughtful decisions about farming and harvesting. Without quality wine grapes, the vinification is more about hiding mistakes in the vineyard than it is about expressing the vineyard to its full potential. With this in mind, Madson has made an effort to lease vineyards and carry out all farming practices instead of buying fruit. We do not directly own our vineyards but we farm all of our vineyards or consult local Santa Cruz Mountain growers with their viticultural practices.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a standard, all of the vineyards that we work with have been converted to 100% organic practices. We use only ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers including animal waste and nitrogen fixing cover crops to help regulate and maintain the health of soil microbes. Many of our vineyards were not organic prior to our adoption; we find that motivating vineyard owners to adopt organics is more rewarding than merely searching for growers who already understand its value. However, organic agriculture does not encompass all of the solutions for responsible agriculture. We must explore beyond the organic system to maintain and improve our surrounding ecosystems and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegenerative agriculture is a holistic farm system that enriches and sequesters carbon dioxide in soils, increases biodiversity, and improves watersheds. While organic agriculture ensures a healthy crop for anthropogenic purposes, organics does not necessarily improve surrounding ecosystems and soils. With an evolving climate, we believe that agriculture must evolve to not only care for people but also care for the environment and the atmosphere. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur pledge to be carbon neutral.\u003cbr\u003eIt is our belief that our rapidly changing climate is the most pressing threat to the planet, our communities, our vineyards and our future generations. With this in mind, we have adopted regenerative agriculture practices. However, our winery production still uses electricity from the grid and all of our shipping is carried out by traditional means. As a business that is dependent on the health of our vineyards and environment, we pledge to operate 100% carbon neutral, or sequester an equal amount of greenhouse gases as we emit. In collaboration with Terra Pass, we will plant 318 trees in 2020 and we will reassess our emissions each year after. As our environment changes so must our business structure and ethos, which is why we believe it is our responsibility to regenerate and protect the fruits of our labor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe aim to minimally interfere and guide fermentations to show vibrancy.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough we believe that winemaking begins with quality farming practices, ultimately, the transformation of fruit to wine occurs in the cellar. We begin by finding ripeness based on physiological cues as well as the flavor of the fruit on the vines. All fermentation occur naturally and spontaneously, and we often utilize pied de cuves (or small mother fermentations that begin in the vineyard) to inoculate our fermenters. We find that the natural yeast strains found in the vineyard make fermentations that are slower and more diverse, ultimately showcasing a greater complexity of flavor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​Élevage occurs mostly in neutral or seasoned oak casks. Generally, each wine will be racked once after pressing and once before bottling. Each wine remains in the same cask for the majority of its life. At bottling, the wine will receive a small sulfur addition. Bottled wines are stored in a cool cellar until they are released.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith love,\u003cbr\u003eCole, Ken \u0026amp; Abbey\u003cbr\u003e\/\/\/\u003cbr\u003e​Cole's love for wine originates from his love for agriculture. Prior to his career in wine, he worked as an organic vegetable farmer, as an edible landscaper, and as manager of the Demeter Seed Library (a non-profit seed saving project​). Cole found viticulture when he started working for Jeff Emery of Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard. Cole moved to Victoria, Australia where he worked in vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula. Crafting Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Shiraz at Paringa Estate Winery. Cole returned to Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard for four years, as Assistant Winemaker applying and gaining new perspectives of vinification and tradition. Then, an opportunity arose to work in Central Otago, New Zealand for Prophet's Rock and Amisfield Winery in 2017. It was in New Zealand, that Cole discovered many techniques for making natural wine. Cole returned to the Santa Cruz Mountains to launch Madson Wines in Spring 2018. Winemakers such as: Ken Burnhap, Jeff Emery, Lindsay \u0026amp; Jamie McCall, Sam Hambour, Paul Pujol, Stephanie Lambert and André Lategan have inspired Cole to make California wines that express terroir with poise and concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47148197282043,"sku":"00076343","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/abfc4e0044d522fd570fe3427a7cf52f.jpg?v=1746562155"},{"product_id":"villa-creek-farmhouse-white-picpoul-falanghina-pinot-gris-west-paso-ca-2024","title":"Villa Creek - 'Farmhouse White' - Picpoul, Falanghina, Pinot Gris - West Paso, CA - 2024","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeaches and cream, but with some zing!

The vines thrive in Chamise Shaly Loam soils, nestled against the San Rafael Mountains. Hand harvested, the Viognier was split into two lots to unlock its full potential. Half underwent 7 days of skin contact, developing texture, tannin, and body. The other half spent 21 days in stainless steel under full carbonic maceration with daily drainings, creating vibrant fruity esters and aromatic complexity. To balance the natural richness of Viognier, a carbonically fermented Riesling with ripping acidity was blended in, resulting in a wine that’s as balanced as it is bold.\nTasting Notes:\nZesty and aromatic, this wine bursts with grapefruit, stone fruit rind, jasmine blossoms, and a touch of exotic perfume.

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.

Inspired by family, friends, and winemakers, Ron and Nancy planted what became a small family vineyard within sight of the region's originators, Sanford \u0026amp; Benedict, more than a decade before the Sta. Rita Hills AVA was founded.\n\nIn partnership with a group of cloistered Carmelite nuns, Ron and Nancy founded Mt. Carmel Vineyard, supplying Pinot Noir and Chardonnay fruit to a small group of Santa Barbara's most esteemed winemakers. With their interest piqued, they searched for a vineyard site where they could build their future.\n\nABOUT THE FAMILY\n\nLiving among the vines, Ron and Nancy Piazza have found a place to retreat from city – a ranch with sweeping views of the vineyard. The production facility is just a short walk down a dirt path, a path well-trodden with their footprints. With views of Stolpman Vineyard and Beckmen’s La Purisima Vineyard, Piazza Bella Vista Vineyard is in good company.\n\nA successful restaurateur, Ron Piazza is a gardener at heart. He likes to plant seeds, grow something, and see the results. Every so often, Ron takes a step back, brushes the dirt off his jeans, and admires what he has built. “We planted that,” he thinks to himself, the work his greatest reward. Nancy, always working by his side, is the heart of the ranch. Happiest when she loses track of time and the outside world, she is quick with a helping hand. The winemakers can expect to see her bringing lunch, checking on the animals, and visiting with neighbors.\n\nOriginally hailing from Queens, New York, Ron is proud of his rich Italian heritage, from which his Grandfather Dominic handed down a passion for life and gardening. Ron remembers Sunday family dinners, wine paired with Dominic's stories, jokes, and subtle wisdom. Inspired by those recollections, Ron's focus is on the meals that families share and the \"handcrafted\" character within their wines. With decades of hard work under his belt, Ron and his wife Nancy are now planting the seeds and growing their own family roots, creating wine to share with you and yours.\n\nFrom organic farming to natural winemaking, sustainability is something the Piazzas take to heart. With Bella Vista Vineyard, they set out to make natural wines with minimal interference. They are planting the seeds and growing a legacy winery for their five children and multiple grandchildren, family the emphasis in the Piazza Family Wines. With that in mind, they work together to make wine meant to be shared.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrapes \u0026amp; Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGraciano\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGraciano is a red grape most associated with Rioja, where it has traditionally played a supporting role in blends.

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\u003ch2\u003eGrapes \u0026amp; Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChardonnay is one of the great white grapes of Burgundy, and one of the most widely planted wine grapes in the world. It has a long history in eastern France, especially Burgundy and Champagne, and DNA work shows it as part of the same broad Pinot and Gouais Blanc family that gave us grapes like Gamay and Aligoté. It’s adaptable, easy enough to grow in many places, and capable of producing everything from simple everyday whites to some of the most ageworthy white wines in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard, Chardonnay buds and ripens relatively early, which makes it useful in cooler climates but vulnerable to spring frost. It tends to do especially well on limestone and calcareous clay, and its relatively neutral fruit profile gives site and cellar choices a lot of room to show. Malolactic fermentation, lees aging, barrel fermentation, and oak can all shape the final wine dramatically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Chardonnay can be lean, saline, and citrus-driven, or broad, textured, and orchard-fruited, depending on where it’s grown and how it’s made. Chablis shows the steely, high-acid side; the Côte de Beaune shows depth, texture, and savory complexity; Champagne shows its value as a sparkling-wine base. Good Chardonnay is less about one fixed flavor than about balance, texture, and the way it carries place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"So Cal - Shiverick, SB and North - The Source Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828412887291,"sku":"00077241","price":68.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/4LDfLrY2m050yvsmSE4UsLVSGREZNCrExSVRO4Nss5k.jpg?v=1783049308"},{"product_id":"parr-collective-phelan-farm-pinot-noir-slo-coast-ca-2024","title":"Parr Collective - 'Phelan Farm' - Pinot Noir - SLO Coast, CA - 2024","description":"\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/rajparrwines,%20parrcollective\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e@rajparrwines, parrcollective\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes from the Winery\/Importer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEstate Bottled Pinot Noir from our Vineyards in Cambria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eParr Collective brings together Phelan, Stolo, Scythians, BRIJ, and Rajat Parr \u0026amp; Co., with a focus on coastal Central Coast farming and wines shaped by place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrapes \u0026amp; Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePinot Noir\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir is one of the old noble red grapes of Burgundy, and still the variety most associated with the Côte d’Or’s ability to translate small differences in site into meaningfully different wines. It’s been known under older names like Morillon, Noirien, and Auvernat, and its history reaches back to medieval northern France. Over time, the Pinot family produced or revealed a whole set of mutations — Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Teinturier, Pinot Noir Précoce — but Pinot Noir remains the central red expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard, it’s famously sensitive. It buds early, so spring frost can be a real issue, and it ripens early enough that warm climates can push it too fast, leaving thin-skinned berries prone to shrivel and sunburn. It prefers temperate climates, calcareous-clay soils, and careful yield control. It’s also susceptible to mildew, botrytis, virus pressure, and plenty of other vineyard headaches, which is part of why great Pinot has such a fragile, hard-won quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, Pinot Noir is rarely about sheer power. At its best, it’s relatively pale, aromatic, and finely structured, with red-fruit notes like cherry and raspberry when young, often moving toward more savory, autumnal, earthy, mushroomy, or truffle-like tones with age.

Camins 2 Dreams was founded in 2017. Our grapes are sourced from vineyards in Santa Barbara County with a focus in Sta. Rita Hills. Our philosophy is to make hand-crafted, terroir-driven wines that are fermented with natural yeast and use minimal intervention in the winery, with only minimum amounts of SO2 at bottling. Our wines are also unfined and unfiltered. We believe wine is made in the vineyard and we want to showcase the typicity of each site where the grapes come from. We source fruit from vineyards that share in the same values of respect for the land, the environment, and their workers. We work exclusively with organic, biodynamic, and regenerative vineyards.\n\nWe are a team of two winemakers, Mireia Taribó and Tara Gomez, wife and wife, whose paths first crossed in 2006 through our work in the wine industry.

This ethos drives us to work with the most unique and rugged vineyards found on the Central Coast. These special sites have a story to tell unlike any other. We have two simple goals that direct every operation above all else: to present the narrative of the growing season in a delicious and transparent format, and to craft a wine with a strong foundation intended to age for decades. The fundamentals that we follow are old-school; we work with the seasons. We spend the majority of our time working in the vineyards, with our harvest season spent between monitoring natural fermentations to picking grapes and the overtime hours dedicated to fixing broken gear. Every year is unique, so the vineyard and cellar practices evolve annually to adapt to the changes each season brings forth. These simple methods require thoughtful, timely decision making, detailed work, and the patience to allow the wine to evolve at its own pace. The results are singular, authentic wines that represent a region, a site, and are a piece of living California history.\n\nTHE REASON FOR RIESLING\nWe could just give you the obvious answer on why we make Riesling. We love it. It's not only our belief that this *terpene-rich grape is the most dynamic, the most transparent, and the most exciting; many of the world's top sommeliers and wine critics consider it the greatest white wine grape of all. To understand why we chose to pursue working with this grape here in California, a brief introduction to our states past is a great place to start.\n\nThe history of California viticulture goes back to the 1700's when Spanish missionaries brought their imported grapes here up from Baja California, Mexico. The first variety planted here earned the acronym 'Mission\" grape; today also known as Listán Prieto which originated in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain. Up until around the 1850's, the Mission grape was virtually the only variety planted in California.\n\nThe \"Gold Rush\" that began in 1848 brought in a wave of immigration from the eastern U.S. and abroad. While most '49ers' failed to amass a fortune in gold, they discovered other areas California offered an opportunity to strike it rich; the abundance of fertile ground. As with many immigrants, these original entrepreneurs brought with them important pieces of cultural heritage to their new homeland. One of these pioneers, Agoston Haraszthy, is credited with introducing the first vitis vinifera vines to the state (he imported over 100,000 cuttings!) in 1852. One of his greatest early successes was Riesling.\n\nRiesling enjoyed a massively popular era in California, the U.S., and Europe for over one hundred years (1850's-1960's). At times in this era, the greatest Riesling's were higher in price than the fabled wines of Bordeaux. Riesling was one of the most widely planted varieties in California, from the Santa Cruz Mountains to Napa. If history shows us any indication of future results, as we believe, we are once again betting on this grape to pave the path ahead.\n\nAs climate change continues to spur the unpredictability of weather and extreme weather events (with the notable exception we continue to get warmer annually), there are few white grapes better suited to withstand the impacts than Riesling. Here's some data to back the claim: it's drought-tolerant, has extreme winter hardiness, buds late, has good heat tolerance, ripens late, has very high acidity, and has stylistic variation unmatched in most other grapes. Much like it was done long before us, it's our mission to pioneer the new age of California Riesling.\n\n*Notes*\nTerpenes are the family of chemical compounds found in the skins and responsible for the exotic aromas of Riesling (one of the many reasons we macerate Riesling on its skins prior to pressing). In fact, Riesling has one of the highest concentrations and diversity of different terpenes of any other grape. These terpene aromas range from rose (linalool) to grapefruit (geraniol) to petrol (TDN or, 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene.) Terpenes and terpenoid aromas are directly related to acidity, pH, and the environment (i.e. where it's grown, how it's farmed, winemaking practices, ripeness etc.). These are the chemical markers that vividly show the diversity of the grape through aroma.\n\nThe Path:\nThe path to becoming a winemaker was not at all clear, though my interests as a youngster helped stir the pot in that direction. I grew up in Contra Costa County, California, which is far more famous for housing subdivisions than for wine grapes. I spent my time exploring the “outdoors” which consisted of exploring the foothills of Mt. Diablo, fishing in the San Pablo bay, and gardening with my grandma. My interests in food developed with a job as a dishwasher for a culinary school during my summer breaks in high school. My focus on wine was sparked because of my wrestling (when you are deprived of food, you tend to dream about it…)\n\nI chose to go to Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo because it had a great wrestling team and Cal Poly offered a degree in Wine and Viticulture. I shifted to focus on academics in lieu of athletics after a few seasons, as my interests escalated into minors in soil science, sustainable agriculture and plant protection science. My first internship was at Saucelito Canyon Winery in Arroyo Grande, CA where I learned to work with ancient, dry-farmed vines. Not far from Saucelito Canyon, I met my mentor, Justin Willett of Tyler Winery, while rock climbing in remote Santa Barbara County. This chance meeting led to a four year endeavor as the assistant winemaker at both Tyler and Lieu Dit Winery. In between harvests at Tyler, I traveled to work abroad in Margaret River, Western Australia and in Austria (Wachau, Weingut Tegernseerhof) before moving up north to work for the classic Santa Cruz Mountain winery Thomas Fogarty. Stirm Wine Co. is now located in southern Santa Cruz County near Watsonville; central between the key appellations we work with.\n-Ryan Stirm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrapes \u0026amp; Style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChardonnay\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChardonnay is one of the great white grapes of Burgundy, and one of the most widely planted wine grapes in the world.

When you ask Ryan about it, though, he’ll say he cares mostly about vineyards: specifically, “the most unique and rugged vineyards found on the Central Coast.” Stirm’s passion for informed, accomplished vinification is clear right away, too; there’s an impatience for opinions held on wine without technical know-how to back them up, even though he’ll also let you know that he wasn’t great at high school. It’s a thing you’ll hear more than once with people who end up making very good wine, and if you happened to go to school with wrestlers, his folded ears speak for themselves. Ryan knows what he’s doing, both in the field and at ferment, and there’s a bit of a humble\/assertive push-pull in these wines: not that the style is at all flashy or glossy, but that these wines are a lot of different things: ripe, particular, sometimes subtle, also expressive, rustic, all in alternating fashion. These wines prod: what are the important sites and appellations of California? The style of wine from the state? The great grapes? Who says all wine has to be made as you learn at UC Davis?\nSpecificity of place, of vineyard site, is what motivates Stirm the most: “We have two simple goals that direct every operation above all else: to present the narrative of the growing season in a delicious and transparent format, and to craft a wine with a strong foundation intended to age for decades.

This ethos drives us to work with the most unique and rugged vineyards found on the central coast. These special sites have a story to tell unlike any other. We have two simple goals that direct every operation above all else: to present the narrative of the growing season in a delicious and transparent format, and to craft a wine with a strong foundation intended to age for decades. The fundamentals that we follow are old-school; we work with the seasons. We spend the majority of our time working in the vineyards, with our harvest season spent between monitoring natural fermentations to picking grapes and the overtime hours dedicated to fixing broken gear. Every year is unique, so the vineyard and cellar practices evolve annually to adapt to the changes each season brings forth. These simple methods require thoughtful, timely decision making, detailed work, and the patience to allow the wine to evolve at its own pace. The results are singular, authentic wines that represent a region, a site, and are a piece of living California history. \n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE REASON FOR RIESLING\u003cbr\u003eWe could just give you the obvious answer on why we make Riesling. We love it. It's not only our belief that this *terpene-rich grape is the most dynamic, the most transparent, and the most exciting; many of the world's top sommeliers and wine critics consider it the greatest white wine grape of all. To understand why we chose to pursue working with this grape here in California, a brief introduction to our states past is a great place to start. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe history of California viticulture goes back to the 1700's when Spanish missionaries brought their imported grapes here up from Baja California, Mexico. The first variety planted here earned the acronym 'Mission\" grape; today also known as Listán Prieto which originated in the Castilla-La Mancha region of Spain. Up until around the 1850's, the Mission grape was virtually the only variety planted in California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Gold Rush\" that began in 1848 brought in a wave of immigration from the eastern U.S. and abroad. While most '49ers' failed to amass a fortune in gold, they discovered other areas California offered an opportunity to strike it rich; the abundance of fertile ground. As with many immigrants, these original entrepreneurs brought with them important pieces of cultural heritage to their new homeland. One of these pioneers, Agoston Haraszthy, is credited with introducing the first vitis vinifera vines to the state (he imported over 100,000 cuttings!) in 1852. One of his greatest early successes was Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiesling enjoyed a massively popular era in California, the U.S., and Europe for over one hundred years (1850's-1960's). At times in this era, the greatest Riesling's were higher in price than the fabled wines of Bordeaux. Riesling was one of the most widely planted varieties in California, from the Santa Cruz Mountains to Napa. If history shows us any indication of future results, as we believe, we are once again betting on this grape to pave the path ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs climate change continues to spur the unpredictability of weather and extreme weather events (with the notable exception we continue to get warmer annually), there are few white grapes better suited to withstand the impacts than Riesling. Here's some data to back the claim: it's drought-tolerant, has extreme winter hardiness, buds late, has good heat tolerance, ripens late, has very high acidity, and has stylistic variation unmatched in most other grapes. Much like it was done long before us, it's our mission to pioneer the new age of California Riesling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTerpenes are the family of chemical compounds found in the skins and responsible for the exotic aromas of Riesling (one of the many reasons we macerate Riesling on its skins prior to pressing). In fact, Riesling has one of the highest concentrations and diversity of different terpenes of any other grape. These terpene aromas range from rose (linalool) to grapefruit (geraniol) to petrol (TDN or, 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene.) Terpenes and terpenoid aromas are directly related to acidity, pH, and the environment (i.e. where it's grown, how it's farmed, winemaking practices, ripeness etc.).  These are the chemical markers that vividly show the diversity of the grape through aroma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Path:\u003cbr\u003eThe path to becoming a winemaker was not at all clear, though my interests as a youngster helped stir the pot in that direction. I grew up in Contra Costa County, California, which is far more famous for housing subdivisions than for wine grapes. I spent my time exploring the “outdoors” which consisted of exploring the foothills of Mt. Diablo, fishing in the San Pablo bay, and gardening with my grandma. My interests in food developed with a job as a dishwasher for a culinary school during my summer breaks in high school. My focus on wine was sparked because of my wrestling (when you are deprived of food, you tend to dream about it…)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI chose to go to Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo because it had a great wrestling team and Cal Poly offered a degree in Wine and Viticulture. I shifted to focus on academics in lieu of athletics after a few seasons, as my interests escalated into  minors in soil science, sustainable agriculture and plant protection science. My first internship was at Saucelito Canyon Winery in Arroyo Grande, CA where I learned to work with ancient, dry-farmed vines.  Not far from Saucelito Canyon, I met my mentor, Justin Willett of Tyler Winery, while rock climbing in remote Santa Barbara County.  This chance meeting led to a four year endeavor as the assistant winemaker at both Tyler and Lieu Dit Winery.  In between harvests at Tyler, I traveled to work abroad in Margaret River, Western Australia and in Austria (Wachau, Weingut Tegernseerhof) before moving up north to work for the classic Santa Cruz Mountain winery Thomas Fogarty.

After fermentation, the wine was pressed and aged in neutral French oak barrels and one puncheon for 10 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is about showcasing the purity of Cabernet Sauvignon: an ode to the early Cabs of California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes on the Producer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOutward Wines is a partnership between Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace.\u003cbr\u003eWe are focused on producing small-lot, site-specific wines from California’s Central Coast, primarily sourcing fruit from Santa Barbara County. All of the vineyards that we work with are farmed using sustainable, organic, or biodynamic practices and are located in close proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar we strive to minimize inputs throughout the winemaking process in order to allow for a clear picture of what the site can provide naturally, and to give the wine a true sense of time and place. To that end, we utilize spontaneous yeast to carry out fermentations, and bottle without fining or filtration where possible. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile we do our best to allow the wines to speak for themselves, we also recognize the role and impact of the human element in terroir. Our hands and our decisions are reflected in the wines that we produce, so it is not only an expression of site, but it is our expression of site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur winemaking approach is informed by the places we have travelled, the background and experience we have in the wine industry, the wines we have enjoyed and been inspired by, the food we prepare and consume, and the friends and mentors that we consult. All winemaking dogma aside, at the end of the day our goal for these wines is for them to be delicious and to provide pleasure to the end consumer.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutward is about expression, exploration, adventure, and the unknown. We consistently seek to push ourselves out of our comfort zones whether through adventurous pursuits in the outdoors, working with new vineyards, or simply challenging our own philosophy and approach to winemaking. Outward is our ever-evolving winemaking adventure and we hope you will join us for the ride.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Satellite SB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828418392315,"sku":"00077252","price":60.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0403\/3655\/6193\/files\/c3a8d61c87cdf36d086d651d347bd32e.jpg?v=1777681943"}],"url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/collections\/wines-of-the-natural-coast-wine-fest.oembed?page=5","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
