Region: Love Ranch Vineyard < Madera < California Grapes: Syrah Vineyard/Cellar Stats:  CCOF-certified organic farming, dry-farmedvineyards on thin soils of granitic schist; partial whole cluster, quick fermentation to keep it soft and minimize tannins, then aged in neutral barrel for 10 months before bottling, unfined/unfiltered with minimal added So2; 12.9% ABV; 50 cases Winemaker: Emily FernwoodOsa Major Wines is a one woman enterprise - from trucking grapes to selling bottles, and everything in between.  Winemaker and owner Emily Fernwood spent the years after college traveling and working harvest gigs the world over, from California and Oregon to Australia and New Zealand, until founding Osa Major Wines in 2020.

This old school, minimalist approach is evident in this Syrah.  Sourced from the CCOF-certi
