Vineyard Sources:
Sierra Foothills AVA, California
100% Barbera
Rorick Heritage Vineyard, Calaveras AVA
At an elevation of 2,000 feet, Rorick Heritage Vineyard is a genuine hidden gem of California producing extremely low yields and wines of character. Rorick Heritage Vineyard is located in Calaveras County, just outside the town of Murphys in the Sierra Foothills. It is situated on limestone soils beneath a top layer of schist. The alpine growing season combined with limestone soils leaves an indelible mark on the wines grown at Rorick Heritage Vineyard. Beautiful Aromatics, textural presence, and bright natural acidity are all hallmarks of the site.
