Grape: Graciano
Vintage: 2025
Type: Rosé

Farmed by Alice Anderson in the Los Olivos District, this rare varietal rosé is sourced from a block of suitcase-clone graciano planted in the late 1990s. The own-rooted vines grow in sandy alluvial soils that are managed with strict regenerative, no-till methods. To manage the grape’s high natural acidity, half the fruit goes straight to press, while the other half undergoes a two-hour foot-stomping skin maceration. Fermentation and aging take place on the fine lees in neutral French oak barrels.

It radiates a vivid copper-pink color, releasing aromas of wild strawberry, pink peppercorn, and chopped garden herbs. The palate is defined by a crystalline architecture, balancing a lightly creamed texture with an energetic mineral core. A bracing wave of ocean-driven acidity cuts right through the tart red berry flavors. It glides into a dry finish, leaving lingering hints of white tea and salinity.

We are proud to lovingly tend some of the oldest vines planted and still in production in Santa Barbara County. We are committed to beyond organic farming, embracing the native ecology, integrating animals, and walking our vineyard rows daily. We believe that unmanipulated wines with energy and a sense of place only come with a deep connection to the land.

We lease and farm the Ibarra-Young Vineyard in Los Olivos District A.V.A. This vineyard was planted by Charlotte Young in 1971 and is still owned by her three daughters.

Everything on the property is own-rooted and has been farmed organically since 1993. We began leasing and farming this land at the end of 2019 and have since employed holistic, regenerative organic, and biodynamic practices to reinvigorate the soils that have been working hard for over half a century.

Our 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.
