Owners by Adam & Helen Tolmach, work closely with a dozen different vineyards on the Central Coast of California and produces wines from syrah, grenache, mourvedre, pinot noir, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and viognier. About 6000 cases are produced each year, divided between 15 bottlings, most of which are vineyard designated wines. There is an inverse relationship between quantity and quality when it comes to grapes, so rather than purchasing ours by the ton, we have long term agreements with our growers to buy the fruit by the acre. In the winery we like to watch the development of the wine carefully, yet prefer to do as little as possible. Experience has shown us that the least amount of moving, pumping, fining and filtering is always best. The ultimate objective is to show off the distinctive character of a vineyard site. To capture the essence of a vineyard site it is better to have a light touch in the winery and subject the wine to the least amount of moving, pumping, fining and filtering. Winemaking is the ability to express the features of a site, varietal, climate and vintage. There are many details to achieve those goals but most important is temperature control. It starts during fermentation and continues throughout the elevage of the wine, allowing us to preserve fragrances and textures of the fruit by slowing down their maturation. Protecting the wine from oxidation, moving the wine only when necessary and carefully considering the logistics all the way into the bottle is key to capturing the essence and vibrancy of a wines. "In business, it’s really easy to produce something universally appealing. But if you’re really into craft, you don’t do that, you have to fight that." -ADAM TOLMACH
