Vineyard
The J. Lohr Stairway Vineyard is located in the Adelaida District along the border of the neighboring Willow Creek District. Slopes can be as much as 50% at this ranch, requiring caution when traversing the steep, step-like chalk rocks. This part of Paso Robles is an ancient uplifted sea bed so fossilized that seashells are often found in the ground, even though the vineyard is perched at 1,500 foot average elevation. Weather at the J. Lohr Stairway Vineyard is ideal for growing Grenache, with daytime high temperatures moderated by early afternoon breezes from the nearby Pacific coast. Planted in 2018 and 2019, just 4 acres of Grenache vines are dedicated to crafting dry, aromatic, Provence-style rosé.
Vintage
The 2025 season saw below-average rainfall. Cool springtime temperatures led to delayed bud break and bloom across the region. Summertime temperatures remained quite cool, resulting in one of the mildest summers Paso Robles has experienced in the past two decades. These moderate temperatures helped the vines avoid heat stress and allowed for slow, even ripening, leading to steady sugar accumulation, astonishing flavor/color development, and incredible freshness. We handpicked our Grenache in the cool of the early morning. After destemming and sorting, berries were gently crushed before being directly transferred to the press, taking care to minimize oxygen exposure. A short 2 hours of skins contact provided a beautiful blush pink color while maintaining vibrant aromatics and a crisp, bright palate.
