WINE DESCRIPTION

Talley Vineyard, situated in the Arroyo Grande Valley, has gained international recognition for its outstanding Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The vineyard comprises 14 distinct subsections of vines, among which is Rosemary's Vineyard. Positioned on a hillside around Rosemary Talley's residence, approximately one mile west of the Rincon Vineyard, this site is characterized by white, rocky fractured sandstone and loam, with some clay in the subsoil. Similar to the Rincon Vineyard, Rosemary's Vineyard is steep, well-drained, and benefits from its proximity to the ocean, making it slightly cooler. The average yields are less than three tons per acre. Talley Vineyards' farming decisions are guided by two core principles: high quality and long-term sustainability. Brian Talley and Vineyard Manager Travis Monk consistently work towards enhancing fruit quality, ensuring that their practices align with the natural conditions of each vineyard site. The vineyards employ biologically based farming techniques and integrated pest management practices. Additionally, cover crops are maintained in all vineyard blocks to improve soil conditions, prevent erosion, and enhance fertility.
