Merchant's description

Established in 2004, Rhys Vineyards has quickly risen to prominence as a leading producer of terroir-driven Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Syrah. Their vineyards in the Santa Cruz Mountains are meticulously tended with sustainable farming practices. Alpine Vineyard, situated on a rocky outcrop with a view of the Pacific Ocean just 10 miles away, benefits from the cooling influence of this proximity. This unique location imbues the wines with a dynamic combination of potency, structure, and freshness that underlies the rich, vibrant, and peppery dark fruit flavours.
