From stellar examples of Lodi Zinfandel to exciting Rhone wines from the Sierra Foothills to wonderful lesser-known grape varieties, m2 wines are created to fully express the character of the vineyard and the fruit of the vine as wine that is true to itself - balanced, complex, approachable and age-worthy. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Carignan - It is versatile and can be used as varietal, a blending component, or a rose. It comes from old vines and has lots of character; it is not a boring grape. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Viognier - It reflects the region and the soil/place of the vineyard. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? They are fun, not boring![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3" css=".vc_custom_1709930735254{padding-right: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}"][vc_single_image image="5974" img_size="full" css="" qode_css_animation=""][vc_single_image image="5977" img_size="full"...

Box 454, Camino, CA 95709 www.MadronaVineyards.com Region: El Dorado, Sierra Foothills Owners: Maggie and Paul Bush Winemaker: Paul Bush About: Madroña is a family-owned and operated winery started in 1973. Located in the cooler foothills of the Sierra Nevada (El Dorado), our family pioneered high-elevation grape growing and wine production in California. With 70 acres of naturally farmed grapes (no herbicides, all organic products), sustainability is a driving force for our winery. Our wines are a reflection of the unique volcanic soils and cool climate of our vineyards, with my winemaking style being more hands-off than hands-on. After 50 years, we've learned that our vineyards produce structured and varietally focused wines with good natural acidity, meant to be enjoyed at table with friends and family. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? I would say Nebbiolo. Nebbiolo is so totally unlike any other variety in the world, both in the vineyard and in the winery, that it surprises me every vintage. It's light in color, heavy in structure, bold in the palate yet very elegant in its characters. It's an...

The resulting wines display a purity of fruit, precise acidity, and a seamless integration of flavors—a testament to Greg La Follette's artistry and the exceptional vineyards from which the grapes are sourced. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Cinsaut, as it comes from the oldest producing Cinsaut vineyard in the world at Bechthold Vineyard in Mokelumne River AVA in Lodi, originally planted in 1886 What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Colombard, it is Marchelle's origin story as Greg La Follette nursed these old vines back to health at Betty Ann Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. The crisp acidity and green apple flavors pair so well with raw oysters. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? It's...

Our wines are made from unexpected varietals and offer new takes on California classics. Of the nearly two dozen wines we make every year, blends and flavors change but our desire to share the simple pleasures of natural wine remains the same. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Nero d'Avola What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? My first experience with wine was actually with forgotten grapes. I went to work on a farm in Italy, just outside of Siena, when I graduated from college. They assigned me as a intern in the vineyard and olive orchard. There was an old vine block of mixed whites and reds that I loved—all quite literally forgotten—none of the locals even knew what they were, but they made delicious wine. What...

His winemaking philosophy mirrors his approach to life: Dream big. Work hard. Have fun while making great things happen. Mac was born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley. He earned a baseball scholarship to Rio Hondo College in Whittier, and around that time landed a job at a Southern California Trader Joe’s. That’s where he developed an appreciation for food and wine – and Rhône wines, in particular. These days, this tenacious, self-taught winemaker quietly crafts some of Paso Robles’ most lauded releases. He’s considered the region’s undiscovered genius, yet he’s also known for his low-key demeanor. As his wines rival those made by Domaine du Pégaü, Mac has earned the title of arm-wrestling champ of Châteauneuf-du-Pape on a Hospice du Rhône trip – all while sporting his signature style in Dickies-brand workwear.

Our passion is crafting beautiful wines, and our heart and soul go into each bottle we produce. We believe in the magic of wine to spark connection, build friendships, and bring people together. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Torrontés is a delicious and delightful undiscovered varietal - aromas of orange blossom and ginger are present right from the moment grapes are picked in the field, all the way through crush, fermentation, and into the bottle. It's a bold wine, not by being overpowering, but by the balance of softness and structure. It's a grape that holds nuance, but also is ready to be enjoyed by everyone. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Our first foray into Torrontés was a bit of a harvest gamble. We took a chance...

Now her passion is creating small-lot wines: a natural migration from one form of art and science to another. Ottavino focuses on varieties and winemaking techniques which are less common in California but outstanding nonetheless. Ottavino currently produces Grüner Veltliner, Rosé of St. Laurent, St. Laurent, and Chardonnay in Austrian oak. As an Indian-American woman winemaker originally from New Jersey, Shalini knows a thing or two about being unexpected but exceptional! What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Grüner Veltliner - It is unlike working with Chardonnay, which I had a decade+ + of experience making. My favorite Grüners from Austria are from the Kamptal region and ride the line between minerality, spice, and fruit purity. Learning to work with Grüner in California to get the spiciness inherent in the grape to balance with a core of fruit has taken time to understand. What was your first experience with...

Genuine varietal expression in our wines comes from minimal intervention in the cellar and a great focus on detail. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? My Chenin Blanc/Picpoul Blanc blend. It was such a happy accident blending these two the first year I made this wine and it was clear they were meant to be together - it was pure magic! What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? I got to work with Petit Verdot in my previous role and spent time really learning about how to handle this varietal in a delicate way to bring out her prettier side - this made me fall in love with all the layers.
