Westbrook Wine Farm1770 visitors
| Westbrook Wine Farm is a vineyard and winery in the Sierra Foothills of eastern Madera County, California, near Yosemite National Park. Our mountain vineyard is planted to a field blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. We practice sustainable farming and minimalist winemaking. We make our wine in the traditional Claret style by co-fermenting grapes, rather than by making separate varietal wines and then blending them. Our FAIT ACCOMPLI includes all six of these varieties, permitted for use in Bordeaux or Meritage wines. | O’Neals, CA

Riesling
|
2006 Uber Rhenish
Madera
The incredible numbers and perfect physiological maturity at lower sugars of this classic varietal speaks very well of the professional care given by Kenwara Vineyard in Madera. Th ... moreis might not mean much if we were talking about White Riesling grown in cold Mendocino County but no one has ever recommended it be planted in warm Madera County. We barrel fermented it to total dryness then whisked it off to cool stainless steel to preserve flavors before bottling. Uber Rhenish will make you smile and have you asking for more.

Rosato Romantico
Madera County
New from Westbrook Wine Farm in O’Neals is a limited production “Rosato” wine with a sprightly attitude and bright magenta hue. It is crafted from the free run juice of hand ... moreselected bunches of Cabernet Sauvignon and Valdiguie grapes grown entirely in Madera County. Slow barrel fermentation and a unique Rhone yeast isolate have beveled any sharp, youthful edges. The atypical vinification methods and our proprietary blend allow us to offer this fresh, pleasingly complex and totally dry white wine alternative to the serious wine lover.

2006 Viognier / Valdiguie
Madera County
...is our proprietary blend of these grapes grown in select vineyards in Madera County. Whole cluster pressed and barrel fermented, bottled early to preserve its beguiling characte ... moreristics. Viognier contributes its unique tropical / melon sensations and silky glycerol textures, while Valdiguie brings ripe berries and a sassy crispness to the mix.. The new flash-toasted Eastern European oak barrels are responsible for the sweet vanilla and spice which tie this cuvée together.

2005 Petite Sirah
John Simpson Vines, Madera County
Highly extracted and unmitigated from John Simpson's own-rooted vines in Madera. Naturally proud tannins and alcohol reminiscent of the bold 1960s creations of young doctors Bennio ... moren and Bruce. A more floral than fruit forward red wine. Pairs best with sage rubbed, flame charred venison.
