Stoplman Vineyards Vin Gris Ballard Canyon California 2023

Over 20 years ago, 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. 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.

High-toned fruit punch perfection over firmer cranberry and boysenberry crunchiness.  With a quenching zip of acid and tannin, the wine blazes a streak straight through the mouth to a lightweight carbon fiber framework finish.  Warming up with air, more piercing, deeper red fruits emerge and the wine becomes weightier: a heavy ground fog wrapping around the hills beneath an ultra-bright sunrise overhead.   The perfect hybrid between rosé and red.
