Amongst the full Ernest Vineyards team involved, winemaker Joseph Ryan is spearheading this new edition of Edaphos wine program. He believes wines are made in the vineyard, and thus imperative to partner with growers who align with our philosophies of sustainability and stewardship.
In the cellar, the juice is guided along without the use of sulfur or new oak. They ferment with native yeast and a long, slow natural malolactic. A combination of concrete, stainless steel, and neutral barrels and puncheons allow the wines to highlight their provenance and natural varietal characteristics.
