Is it Gamay? Is it Grenache? We won’t make you guess again – this bluffer is Valdiguié. With only a handful of acres growing in California, Valdiguié is a grape you’ve likely never heard of - the only other place it’s grown is in Southern France. Even the first California farmers to discover this grape confused it for Napa Gamay until a traveling Frenchman set them straight. We harvested this sustainably-farmed fruit from 40-year-old Valdiguié vines (the oldest in California) from the Paso Robles Highlands and fermented and aged it in stainless steel for freshness. The result is a fruity red with lots of lively tart berry flavor and an herbal kick to finish.
