Red Wine by A Tribute to Grace from Central Coast, California. This vineyard represents the second expression in what the winery calls the Grandfather series. Vineyards harking back to days of olde, where vines were planted in their most natural form: own-rooted, head-trained, wide enough spacing to easily pick into wooden boxes and organic since day dot. Hofer Ranch was planted in the pre-Prohibition days when Cucamonga Valley was a bastion of grape farming. It took a lot of acres to raise a family says current steward Paul Hofer, whose Grandfather planted the vineyard. It was 300 acres in its heyday, and now just 5 acres remain. Planted in sand, a root structure 35 feet deep, surrounded by ancient Eucalyptus and Pink Peppercorn trees.
