Winemaking:

Pressing the whole grapes after only 7 days allows the native fermentation to finish as liquid only, removed from the skins.  This delicate extraction ensures a clean, balanced “fresh” orange wine.  We then capture this fresh profile by bottling early, in mid-January.

In our fourth edition of Love You Bunches Orange, we’ve further refined our varietal blend to deliver the most delicious Orange yet.  Pinot Gris for depth, richness, and color; co-fermented with just a touch of tropical Orange Muscat.  Tocai Fruilano delivers more texture and brightness.  Gewurztraminer adds further color and more exotic tropical notes.   

Stoplman Vineyards:

Dedicated to sensible farming & winemaking, we believe that we can create natural, vibrant, site-specific wines, with a focus unique to Ballard Canyon AVA, California.

Over 20 years ago, our Founding Partner, Thomas Stolpman, discovered what we believe to be one of the greatest viticultural sites on earth. Hidden in the hills of California’s Central Coast, on a rare Limestone outcropping & unobstructed from the Pacific Ocean wind, this unique land is ideally suited to grow Syrah and Roussanne grapes. We are committed to preserving this natural environment for our vines through natural farming, dry farming, & sustainable employment. In the winery, we prefer native fermentation & minimal manipulation.
