Petrichor (pet-ri-kor) n. the scent of rain on dry earth

The 2.5-acre vineyard is densely planted to Grenache and Syrah in unique well-drained volcanic soil. Petrichor is farmed organically by hand and the fruit is intensely site driven. The wines display vibrant color and aromatics, sturdy tannins and natural acidity. There is a decided energy in the wines that we like to refer to as ‘plugged in’. The electric ruby quality associated with great balance and energy in the fruit is undeniably unique to its Fountaingove District AVA roots.

Situated on the northwestern boundary of the Fountaingrove District AVA. Unique well-drained, volcanic soil. Exposure to the North, West & South with a maritime influence. Planted to Grenache (Alban clone) and Syrah 877 and 470.
