“Who knew this uncommon southern French grape would shine in Monterey County? Following fresh aromas of candied grape and cranberry, it produces a wine that’s bright and a bit spicy on the palate, with startling acidity and notes of black raspberry pie that linger on the juicy finish. Best served chilled.”

Discovering Valdiguié

Valdiguié is a grape variety with origins in Southern France that gained renewed attention after being brought to California, where it was initially misidentified as Gamay. Known for its natural acidity and fresh fruit flavors, Valdiguié is versatile and suited for both red and rosé wines, particularly in low-intervention winemaking. Though once nearly forgotten, this grape is now appreciated by winemakers and wine enthusiasts for its unique qualities and potential.
