Two Shepherds 2020 Old Vine Carignan – Organic Dry-Farmed California Red Wine

Discover the rare elegance of our limited-production 2020 Carignan, sourced from a historic 75-year-old organic vineyard in Mendocino County. Dry-farmed and head-trained, these resilient vines yield a wine of remarkable purity—juicy red fruit flavors dance alongside subtle earthy tones, framed by a silky texture from 50% whole-cluster fermentation.

Why This Wine Stands Out:
– Micro-Production: Only 200 cases crafted (down from 500), making this vintage exceptionally collectible
– Old-World Style: Light-bodied and aromatic, reminiscent of Cru Beaujolais with its vibrant acidity
– Sustainable Craft: Certified organic, dry-farmed grapes aged 8 months in neutral French oak for unadulterated terroir expression
– Perfect Balance: Lower alcohol (11.8%) ensures food-friendly versatility—pair with roasted poultry or mushroom risotto

A labor of love from winemaker William Allen, this Carignan reflects California’s heritage through its minimalist winemaking. The 2020 release is even more exclusive as production shifted to accommodate sparkling wines—don’t miss this fleeting opportunity to own a bottle of liquid history.
