The Kirschenmann is particularly close to our hearts as our winemaker, Tegan Passalacqua, owns and farms this vineyard. The ungrafted vines were planted in 1915 in the silica-rich sandy soils of the east side of the Mokelumne River AVA. Thanks to the river’s cool waters and delta breezes, these head-trained, dry-farmed vines are constantly protected from the heat.

Ancient vines in the willow Creek District make the most beautiful wine

Planted in 1922 in Templeton and purchased by Turley in 2014 this vineyard is happily producing delicious Zinfandel.
