Winemaker Notes
We picked during the cool, early morning hours and delivered the grapes straight to the winery. After a gentle de-stem process, a lengthy 10 – 12-day cold soak followed to maximize extraction.During fermentation, the juice was pumped over two to three times daily to extract color, flavor and tannin from the fruit. Once fermentation was complete, the wine was gently pressed and racked into French and American oak for 14 months of aging.
California’s Central Coast is a vast, rugged landscape stretching from Santa Barbara north to Monterey Bay. It’s wild country with a gorgeous coastline and few towns. Wide open with fertile farming soil and abundant ranchland, this place attracted more than just farmers and cowboys it also attracted artists, rebels, seekers and bon vivants from the Bay Area and the Los Angeles sprawl. The confluence of their unique personalities put a stamp on the burgeoning wine region and today, rule-breaking and non-conformity are celebrated values.
Four Vines honors the anti-establishment views of the Central Coast’s eccentric personalities. We make interesting wine, for interesting people.
