Birichino’s 2023 Old Vines bottling comes from Bechthold Vineyard, home to California’s oldest Cinsault, planted in 1886. Dry-farmed and organically grown near Lodi’s Mokelumne River, the vines thrive in deep sandy soils.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral French oak, the wine is light-bodied with supple texture. It’s part of Birichino’s focused old-vines series, celebrating California’s viticultural heritage through minimal intervention.

What importer Bowler Wine has to say about this wine...

Cinsault from the historic Bechtold Vineyard in the Mokelumne River AVA of Lodi. The twenty-five acre own-rooted Bechthold vineyard, planted in 1886 by German immigrant Joseph Spenker, is the oldest continuously farmed vineyard in Lodi. Bechtold is farmed organically, without irrigation, on Tokay Fine Sandy Loam soils, which are rich in granitic minerals washed down from the Sierra Nevada range. Lodi may be the coolest area of the Central Valley, with evening temperatures moderated by breezes from the Sacramento River Delta. However, hot daytime temperatures during July and August can be punishing, though these 136 year-old vines shrug off high temperatures, and bring intensely flavored grapes at remarkably modest levels of alcohol and surprising acidities to produce very elegant wines. Fermented with native yeasts and matured in large puncheons and old French barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.
