Jada Vineyard lies in an incredible pocket in the hills of the Santa Lucia Coastal Range on the west side of Paso Robles (sub-AVA: Willow Creek District).  A low spot (1700 ft) in the range directly west of the vineyard funnels cool coastal air from the Pacific Ocean through the corridor commonly referred to as the Templeton Gap.  Blessed with abundant sunshine throughout the growing season, the maritime influence moderates the heat and provides incredibly cool evenings.  As a result, harvest generally occurs near the end of October and the beginning of November.  This long maturation process allows for superb development of color & intensity in character while maintaining acidity.

To wine growers, the beauty here is found beyond, in fact beneath, the surface.  Initially barley, 11 varietals & 19 clones now comprise 65 acres of estate vineyard at Jada. Under the shallow topsoil of clay loam lie massive deposits of calcareous shale and pockets of limestone.  This challenging environment contributes to reduced vigor in the vines and decreased berry size, which plays a huge part in the intensity of the fruit and imparts a complex underlying minerality.

 

To-date, Jada has received over 54 “90/90+” wine ratings for its all-estate, limited-production Rhone & Bordeaux-style wines and is 100% sustainably farmed using biodynamic practices.
