Broken Earth Winery

Once consumed, this wine dillydallies on the palate with no particular place to go. 

This 2014 vintage is a bit of a ‘beast’. The fruit was very ripe, due to the drought conditions leading up to harvest, and demanded a range of winemaking techniques to keep it in balance. It underwent barrel fermentation, partial malolactic fermentation and extended lees contact. 

Our Albarino is a ‘Californian’ approach where classic characters are complemented by powerful fruit and great length.

This is the first release of our Estate Grown Vermentino. The variety originates in Italy but excels on the slopes of the “Golden Hills” of Paso Robles.

This unique variety is primarily used as a blending component. It has, however, found its true home in the gentle slopes of the vineyards in Paso Robles. It displays a brilliant combination of elegance and concentration... a wine of the future.
