Notes: Over the past 25 years, Stolpman has pushed the Syrah
envelope, own-rooting vines directly into its Limestone
soils at high-density. Un-grafted, the vines behave
maturely within 3-4 years and do not require irrigation.
These own-rooted vines ripen small, concentrated
clusters harvested for both ripeness and liveliness, and
they deliver a singular expression of Ballard Canyon
Syrah. In pursuit of seamless purity, the winemaking team
takes an extremely gentle touch as no force is needed to
extract color and richness.
Healthy late season rains pushed back bud-break and the
growing season by 3-4 weeks. Knowing we were looking at
a delayed harvest, we thoroughly shoot-thinned our vines
to reduce the yield and enable the vines to ripen a smaller
crop-load. We escaped the summer without any extreme
heat events that would have accelerated or compacted
ripening. For 36 days, we strategically, exactingly
micro-picked the diverse exposures for Estate Grown Syrah
to present an optimized vintage.
2023 Estate Grown Syrah is a wine of layers, feather over feather:
• Fresh yet expansive ripe red berries carry a core energy
• Sangre + Flesh: sliced, bloody, and perfectly marbled
• Inviting Lavish Purple
• Chalky Fine tannins
This vintage is a champion in a long pursuit of establishing
Stolpman Estate Grown Syrah on the world stage.
