WINEMAKER’S NOTES : This is our third vintage making Trousseau after we had old Syrah vines at Wirth Ranch grafted over in 2016. The cuttings come from Matthew Rorick Heritage Vineyard where they were propagated from the Jackson Vineyard planted in 1888. The fruit for the 2019 vintage was 100% destemmed, fermented and aged in a combo of sandstone jar and 1 neutral French oak barrel for 8 months.
VITICULTURAL AREA : Solano County’s Green Valley is a small area, located just southeast of Napa Valley. Wirth Ranch is planted on steep- sloped, iron-rich volcanic soils. It is located on the western edge of Solano County Green Valley. Farmed with no use of any pesticides or herbicides. Steve Wirth is the farmer and took over the property from his father.
