Our estate mountain-grown grapes are sourced from some of the highest vineyards in California. Our unique volcanic soils, weathered from ancient ash flows, produce wines that are intensely aromatic and luscious with deep, rich fruit erupting with flavor. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Barbera! Great acid, bright flavors, food friendly. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Planting and working with undiscovered grapes is part of the DNA of El Dorado winegrowers. Rather than being centered on a single “signature” variety, our region is still actively exploring its possibilities. Every time we plant a new grape, we’re asking how it will respond to our volcanic soils, our 3,000-foot elevations, and our steep slopes. It’s an ongoing search for the varieties that not only thrive here but that truly come...

After years of growing Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Viognier for some of Santa Barbara’s top winemakers, we launched our own label in 2022. We make limited-production, small-batch wines that let the fruit and the land shine through. Our signature style is balance; wines with depth and interest that still hold their freshness and acidity. We’re excited to showcase two Grenache clones side by side, showing just how different the same varietal can be. Along with two vintages of our 100% Mourvèdre that capture the influence of Mother Nature from year to year. We love how tasting these comparisons can spark curiosity, open up conversations, and remind us that wine is at...

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?

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...

We farm some of the oldest vines in the region and love sharing these premium wines with people who appreciate the story behind the bottle. What is your favorite undiscovered grape? Vermentino has become a household favorite – my wife loves it as her go-to summer wine. It's refreshing, food-friendly, and performs beautifully in our climate. Hard to beat on a warm Lodi afternoon. What was your first experience with an undiscovered grape? Carignan. My great-grandfather planted our Carignan vineyard in 1936, so I literally grew up with these vines. Working with fruit from 90-year-old vines that your family planted gives you a different perspective on what "undiscovered" can mean—sometimes it's about rediscovering what's been here all along. What do you love most about the undiscovered grapes? The unique stories they carry. Every unfamiliar variety has a history: where it came from, who brought it here, why it survived when others didn't. In our case, those stories connect directly to my family's five generations in Lodi. That's what makes pouring these...
