History

2006: Angela Osborne moved to California from New Zealand, driven by a dream to create exceptional Grenache wines.

2007: First vintage, sourcing Grenache fruit from Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard, a high-desert vineyard perched above the Pacific Ocean, 33 miles inland.

Named after Angela's beloved grandmother Grace.

Philosophy

Dedicated to authentic expressions of Grenache. All wines are single-vineyard sourced to maintain authenticity and remain 100% Grenache.

Regions

Vineyards span the golden coast from the high-desert of Cuyama Valley outside of Santa Barbara to further north near the Santa Cruz Mountains.

Focus on finding optimal heat and light conditions for this sun-loving grape.
