2022 Birdhorse Contra Costa Verdelho

Composed of organically farmed Verdelho that grows two miles from the San Joaquin Delta on Sorrento silty clay loam soils. Birdhouse Wines is a small, independent California wine project founded by winemakers Corinne Rich and Katie Rouse, inspired by their shared experiences working harvests in South Africa. The producers focus on showcasing lesser-known grape varieties, sourcing fruit from distinctive vineyard sites, including Evina Vineyard in Knightsen, Contra Costa County, where they produce a Verdelho. Their approach emphasizes individual grape expression and sustainable vineyard practices, bringing creativity and a sense of discovery to California winemaking.
