Tracing the curving banks of the Russian River headwaters, Spirit Canyon is a small vineyard in Mendocino. Oak-dotted hillsides lie to one side while black walnut trees and native sedges line the river’s edge. This ecosystem provides a natural habitat for the yeasts that natively ferment our Stargazing blend. The vineyard is farmed using organic practices and utilizes sheep in the place of agricultural mowing equipment. The Rhone grapes cultivated here are of Mediterranean origin and are perfectly suited to the warm Mendocino climate. The resulting fruit achieves phenological ripeness at low brix allowing us to make this elegant and austere wine.
