Subject: 🍞Sorry, bread not included🍷

Piedrasassi cultivates grapes and grain in the Central Coast of California. They primarily vinify Syrah, a variety with which winemaker Sashi Moorman (his partner is famed sommelier Rajat Parr) has worked for over two decades. In the bakery, Melissa Sorongon freshly mills American heritage grains for naturally-leavened loaves that she bakes in a hand-built wood-fired oven. Melissa and her daughter, Juliet, bring each week’s bread and a selection of their wines to Santa Barbara’s Saturday farmers’ market. Unfortunately we can only offer the wine, which is stellar! Only 1700 cases produced.
Happy to Offer

n the vineyard, the team at Piedrasassi picks a bit earlier than their colleagues to keep the alcohol levels in balance with flavor and to preserve the natural acidity of the fruit. In the winery, Moorman employs some whole-cluster inclusion, indigenous yeast fermentation, and no sulphur added at fermentation, remaining as natural as possible without compromising the integrity and stability of the wine. Elevage is in 500-liter barrels to limit the wine’s exposure to oxygen and to minimize the influence of oak. They add the smallest amount of sulphur to the wine at bottling; allowing the aromatics to stay expressive while still protecting the wine during cellaring.
