2022 Adelaida District Carignan

The Halter Ranch Carignan from the Adelaida District is an incredibly dynamic red wine that manages to perfectly illustrate the character of this varietal. The 2022 vintage showcases a well-balanced body with a beautiful equilibrium of not too heavy but with a substantial presence that engages the palate. Its acidity is bright and lively, creating a delightful mouthwatering experience that complements its fruit-forward nature. Expect a symphony of dark berries, cherries, and a hint of plum, reflecting the high fruit intensity that Carignan is known for. The tannins are notable and firm, providing structure without overwhelming the wine's inherent elegance. This wine is a testament to the meticulous vine care and expert winemaking found in the Adelaida District, making it a splendid choice for those who appreciate a robust yet refined red that delivers both complexity and charm.

Adelaida District

The Adelaida District of Paso Robles, located on California's Central Coast, is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning a range of elevations and microclimates, the Adelaida District's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a complex array of terroir. The proximity to the cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean plays a major role in cooling the vineyards, sending fog and chilly air inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive in the western areas closer to the coast, producing refined and elegant wines, while further inland, the warmer, sun-drenched hillsides support the cultivation of bigger, bolder wines. This diversity of conditions enables the Adelaida District to produce a wide variety of wine styles, each reflecting the unique character of its growing regions.
