Vineyard
The grapes for the J. Lohr Gesture RVG were sustainably grown on our Rain Catcher Vineyard in the Adelaida District of western Paso Robles. Rain Catcher was planted in 2010 and is the westernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles AVA. The climate here is nearly identical to that of the northern Rhône. With well-drained soils of calcareous shale and weathered sandstone, this vineyard’s terroir is a perfect match for growing Roussanne, Viognier and Grenache Blanc for crafting a Rhône-style white blend. The warm days with southern and western exposures on this hillside property develop ripe, lush flavors, while the cool nights allow for hangtime, giving the wine power and depth.
Vintage
The spring of the 2024 vintage in western Paso Robles was cool compared with recent vintages, after winter months of substantial rainfall. Given that the soils here hold water very well, minimal irrigation was applied during most of that year until the heat of early September. Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Viognier were picked in one pass in 2024; harvest began on September 27th with the Viognier and finished on October 13th with the Roussanne.
