Rajat Parr's natural wine approach finds full expression in this whole-cluster blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Mondeuse from the San Luis Obispo Coast. Separated fermentation, neutral oak, no filtration or additions—the winemaking step back lets the fruit and the cool maritime terroir speak directly. A red wine that tastes like freshly picked grapes.

"The 2024 Autrement Rouge is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Gamay Noir and 25% Mondeuse. I don't think I have ever tasted anything like it. Explosive and yet light on its feet, the 2024 has so much going on, so many layers. I admire its depth, complexity and overall nuance. Brisk acids drive through a core of dark red fruit as the wine starts to open. It will be interesting to see how this develops with time in bottle. Today, the 2024 is absolutely gorgeous, but also still very primary." —Antonio Galloni

"Comprising 50% Pinot Noir, 25% Gamay and 25% Monduese, the 2024 Autrement Rouge was entirely destemmed, owing to the harvest's extraordinarily low yields. A brooding nose of dark fruits, graphite, iron and turned earth introduces a seamless, precisely rendered palate with an additional degree of density compared to past vintages. The finish fuses mouthwatering acidity, streaks of minerality and spice-driven overtones." —Matthew Luczy

More about Phelan Farm

Phelan Farm is what happened when one of America's best-known sommeliers set out to farm a cold, foggy hillside on the California coast as a living whole, and planted it with the grapes of the Jura and Savoie.

Rajat Parr grew up in Calcutta, learned under Larry Stone in San Francisco and made his name as wine director for the Michael Mina restaurant group and RN74 before turning to winemaking. In 2017 he met Greg Phelan, who had planted vines in 2007 on his farm in Cambria, a few miles from the Pacific on the San Luis Obispo coast, and that farm became the base for Parr's own wines. The holdings have since grown to include the nearby Stolo vineyard.

The farming draws on permaculture, biodynamics and regenerative agriculture, with composts and ferments made on the farm, minimal sulfur and no copper. Alongside Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grow cuttings from celebrated Jura and Savoie growers, including Savagnin from Ganevat, pink Chardonnay from Tissot and Gringet from Belluard, plus Mondeuse, Poulsard, Trousseau, Jacquère, Altesse and Mencía. Fermentations are wild, the wines move by gravity into old barrels, and everything is bottled by hand with little or no added sulfur.

Production is tiny. Expect cool, saline, transparent wines with real nerve, closer in spirit to the Jura than to California.
