Notes from Viticulturist
A non-excludable Spanish red grape, Tempranillo is a grape that grows in large clusters full of character. Due to its vigorous growing habits, the Tempranillo is planted in block D where it sits on a steep slope with Southern exposure to prevent it from absorbing all the season’s groundwater. We look forward to seeing what the Threemile terroir makes of this classic warm season cultivar.
