Chalone. Volcanism and tectonic activity define Chalone and the Pinnacles National Park, immediately below which lies the exceptionally situated Boer Vineyard. First planted by Dick Woodward to Cabernet in 1969 and celebrated as the ‘A-Frame’ vineyard, the vines on these steep slopes were grafted several decades ago to several selections of Pinot Noir. It is now owned and farmed by Richard Boer. Chalk from an ancient, uplifted seabed and decomposing granite comprise this highly unusual and prized terroir. There is sufficient maritime influence to moderate daytime temperatures and ensure fruit ripens evenly.

About Birichino Wines

Alex Krause and John Locke founded Birichino in Santa Cruz in 2008. Drawing on a combined four decades making wine in California, France, Italy, and beyond, they are focused on attaining the perfect balance of perfume, poise, and puckishness.

Sourcing from a number of carefully farmed, family-owned, own-rooted 19th and early 20th century vineyards (and a few from the late disco era) planted by and large in more moderate, marine-influenced climates, their preoccupation is to safeguard the quality and vibrance of their raw materials.

Their preference is for minimal intervention, most often favoring native fermentations, employing stainless or neutral barrels, minimal racking and fining, and avoiding filtration altogether when possible. But most critically, their aim is to make delicious wines that give pleasure, revitalize, and revive.

Fine Wine Cellars

On the one hand, our role as a merchant of all things wine & spirits could not be simpler. We aim to source the most delicious, the most authentic, and the highest quality products possible from Australia and around the world in order to offer them to our clients. We live or die by how well we perform this task. Of course things are rarely as simple or as easy as they seem. Hunting for wines & spirits is no different. Apart from the months spent travelling, countless days and evenings spent tasting and the outrageous wine expenditure in the name of ‘research’, sourcing quality wine and spirits requires expertise and experience. Understanding the potential of a producer and their products is much more than just a slurp and a spit.
