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. This wine was then aged for 6 months in neutral French oak barrels before being bottled unfined and unfiltered on March 25, 2025.\nPériphérie was harvested in the early morning of September 18, 2025.

Charlotte's right-hand man, Miguel Ibarra, Helped her plant the vineyard in 1971 and continued to work on the vineyard for more than 40 years. 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","url":"https:\/\/satellitesb.com\/products\/amevive-peripherie-ibarra-young-vineyard-marsanne-syrah-mourvedre-santa-ynez-valley-ca-2025","provider":"Satellite SB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
