About This Wine


Astrae Mars

Red

Wine is something that is deeper, and more complex than just stomping grapes and fermenting them. No matter how refined the winery, there is so much more that goes into the process that is outside of human intervention or control. The great Galileo described wine as “sunlight, held together by water,” not forgetting the fact that things are never as simple as they seem. The Astrae Mars comes from the crook of two rivers: the Mokelumne and the Cosumnes where light and water have blended together to feed the grapes for this beautiful wine. It won 94 points and a Gold medal at the 2018 International Women's Wine Competition!

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.
