Good wine begins with good grapes
11th Leaf Sangiovese Brunello clone (Sangiovese Grosso) root stock, used by Altipiano Winery, Turtle Rock Winery, Hellanback Winery, Block 270 Winery , Old Julian Winery and Curds 'n Wine to produce their popular wines, also available to home winemakers. The Sangiovese grape has ancient and uncertain origins and come in two distinct types: the Sangiovese Grosso, big in Italian, cultivated in Tuscany and the Sangiovese piccolo, small, which is widely planted both in Tuscany and in the rest of the centre of Italy. The Prugnolo Gentile and Sangiovese di Lamole grapes also belong to the same family of the Sangiovese Grosso. The Sangiovese Grosso is used for traditionally powerful and slow maturing red wines, the most important of all is the Brunello di Montalcino and is considered to be superior to the other Sangiovese grapes. The Sangiovese grosso is slow and late to ripen and produces rich, alcoholic and long-lived wines.

Getting "G" to come out and harvest some of our grapes was over the top this year. She is wonderful. "G" was instrumental in encouraging me with my winemaking and instrumental in helping me with my wine that won "Best of Class" for Merlot at the 2023 San Diego County Fair and a Bronze for the RVVA.

Everyone has a past, and my past was growing up in Michigan and playing as a studio and touring musician for several bands, including Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley . For "The Ted Nugent Band" I was their original bassist and in my youth toured the world doing concerts which introduced me to French and California wines. Look me up on Wikipedia as "Rob Grange".

"Sadie" is our Vineyard pup. She is a Aussie Rescue and sniffs out fresh Gopher holes, when she's not catching up on a nap. A favorite routine in the Vineyard for Sadie is chasing off Rabbits and Squirrels.

Our History
It's all about the Grapes
Winemaking Awards
Established 2013 by the previous owner Martin Giuliani (no, no relation to Rudy) who planted 300 Sangiovese Brunello Clone vines. The family later sold the estate to a new owner. Local popular Winemaker John York found the Vineyard and made a Rose which became popular locally with Old Julian Winery. A wildfire burned down the home and the Vineyard was left in disrepair. In 2021 Rob de la Grange became the vigneron and brought the vineyard back to life. It was a huge undertaking as the vineyard was left untouched for 18 months with the nets still up.

From Squirrels, Bees, Yellow Jackets, Snakes, Crows, Hawks, high Summer heat days and Coyotes. They all prey on the fresh ready to harvest Grapes. We keep a good shade canopy, use Bird Netting and this year installed Squirrel Baffels on our end posts and a hot wire fence for the Coyotes.
