LAS PERSONAS Y EL LUGAR

Indigené Cellars

Indigené Cellars typically makes small batches using isolated clones, and Founder Raymond Smith closely monitors these barrels throughout the aging process to ensure the best result possible, given the fruit. Case counts are in the low hundreds, as hand punching and manual leaf and stem removal are part of this most tedious process. He is also a believer in cold fermentation to maximize the fruit's potential. 

"With my wines you should take time and taste the nuance, don’t just drink the wine but taste the wines and enjoys the subtle notes that I prepared for your enjoyment." - Raymond Smith, Winemaker

Paso Robles

The international underdog of California AVAs, with iconic Oak trees throughout the Eastside and Westside vineyards. The Eastside's diurnal cycle is long hot days and cold breezy nights whereas the Westside microclimate is known for the cooling winds from the Templeton Gap and lesser growing degree days. Paso Robles, with its 11 sub-AVAs, is particularly known for its rich wines and dramatic temperature swings that enhance flavor and acidity.
