Close100% Syrah
Food pairings: Grilled beef or barbecue, duck, and aged hard cheeses such as Gouda or Parmesan.
Winemaking: The 2023 Estate Grown Syrah is 100% own-rooted Syrah, fermented with 50% whole clusters and native fermentation in open-top concrete, then aged 11 months in neutral 500-liter French oak puncheons.
Vineyards and terroir: Fruit is drawn from the own-rooted Syrah blocks of the Stolpman estate in the Ballard Canyon AVA, planted into limestone soils. The estate is CCOF organic and Demeter biodynamic certified. The 2023 growing season ran late after healthy rains, and the Syrah was picked in passes from October 5 through November 9.
Family and history: Stolpman Vineyards was founded by Tom and Marilyn Stolpman after they purchased the Ballard Canyon property in 1988. Their son Peter later joined the family business. Vineyard manager Ruben Solorzano and his year-round team, La Cuadrilla, farm the estate by hand.
