Alfrocheiro Preto
former days, this grape variety was considered as related to the Blue Spaetburgunders. However, the origin of the Alfrocheiro Preto is Portugal, where it is an important variety that produces alcoholic wines with spicy, anise, floral, minty aromas. This grape brings colorintensive wines, which are used particularly for blends. The grapes are small to medium sized and very compact. The berries are blue black and have a firm skin. Synonyms: Tinta Bastardinha, Tinta Francesa de Viseu.

A select group of winemakers can be credited with revolutionizing modern day winemaking in California. They are the innovators who, some 20 years ago, brought Old World traditions back to a New World that had thrown in its lot with university scientists to make squeaky clean wines largely devoid of character. The goal of these new wave winemakers was to put terroir back into the bottle and create wines of unique distinction.
David Ramey is widely acknowledged to be among the wine pioneers whose efforts helped raise the bar for all American winemakers and brought California to the forefront of the international wine world. David’s groundbreaking work with indigenous yeasts and malolactic and barrel fermentation yielded a new California style that was richer, more lush and silky smooth than previously known. As a result, he created a benchmark style now emulated by many.
