Producer Information

Ryan Stirm cultivated his passion and skill working at renowned estates in California and Austria - Tyler and Grant Tatomer (Santa Barbara) and Weingut Tegernseerhof (Wachau). He farms all of his vineyards himself (with the exception of the historic Wirz vineyard), all of which are dry farmed and without chemicals. Harvest is always done by hand, fermentations are always native yeast, and all wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, with minimal to no sulphur. In addition to Riesling, Ryan farms Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon in the Santa Cruz mountains and is also concentrated on working with some of the state’s historic vineyards, such as the Enz and Wirz vineyards and historic or native grape varieties such as Mission, Pais and Rosa de Peru. His reds are all aged in old American redwood, which lends an old school character and elegant rusticity, making his wines unmistakably classically Californian. Ryan’s goal of keeping alcohol levels in check and highlighting the fruit’s natural acidity makes the wines incredibly food friendly and approachable.
