The Story
Syrah has to be one of life’s greatest joys, and few places on planet Earth are as ideally suited for Syrah as El Dorado County. Syrah absolutely thrives here with our steep, mountainous slopes and granitic soils partnered with our dry, warm climate and temperate, breezy evenings. All combined we’re gifted with versatile material for us to explore the spectrum of its personalities, and allowing us to make something complex and downright otherworldly.
We employ significant amounts of whole cluster coupled with the inclusion of a small amount of whole-cluster Viognier in our fermentations. The result is fiercely aromatic and encourages deeper color and extremely round palate presence. We handle our native fermentations with the remontage technique; gentler on the berries, but aggressively more aerobic for the juice, encouraging high CO2 production which both protects and bolsters our aromatic profile. All to produce Syrah that is true to varietal, and sings the praises of our beloved terroir.

About Skinner Vineyards & Winery
Producer Story
Much like an unearthed vein of gold’s illusive promise once hidden deep within the rock, the contemporary story of Skinner Vineyards and Winery began with a chance encounter that would ultimately reveal six generations of family legacy built on the dreams of a Scottish immigrant and miner during the California Gold Rush with a passion for winemaking in the rich foothills of El Dorado County.
