Holden Cellars Stolpman Vineyard Grenache Ballard Canyon 2022
Earthy and bold with powerful notes of red fruits, strawberry, raspberry with balanced acidity and refined, silky tannins.
Over 20 years ago, Founding Partner, Tom Stolpman, discovered what he believed to be one of the greatest viticultural sites on earth. Hidden in the hills of California’s Central Coast, on a rare Limestone outcropping & unobstructed from the Pacific Ocean wind, this unique land is naturally suited to grow Syrah and Roussanne grapes. Stolpman Vineyards is committed to preserving this natural environment for their vines through conscious farming, dry farming, & sustainable employment. In the winery, they prefer native fermentation & minimal manipulation.
Dedicated to sensible farming & winemaking, Stolpman Vineyards believes that they can create vibrant, site-specific wines, with a focus unique to Ballard Canyon AVA, California.
It’s all about the vineyard – which is why it is paramount to employ a highly skilled full-time workforce, La Cuadrilla. Take care of them, and they take the most precise care of the vines. In an era when the wine industry is moving towards mechanization, Stolpman Vineyards has gone in the opposite direction. Vines are only touched by the hands of La Cuadrilla, no tractors. They spare no effort in meticulous pruning cuts, vine training, and adjustments.
