Cambria Estate vineyards & Winery
Cambria is located on the Santa Maria Bench Terrace in the California Valley of the same name, along the Sisquoc River. This is a majestic earth formation that resembles the shape of a bench. The backrest is the Tepusquet mountain range - a topographical rarity with a dramatic effect on both the climate and - of course - the style of the wines produced here. With nothing to stop the ocean winds, they dictate the rhythm of the seasons and give this cool place one of the longest wine seasons in the world. Cambria has 650 hectares, with 14 different types of soil, divided into four separate plots. Each vineyard is divided into dozens of smaller blocks based on geology and topography. The focus is on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but there are also Syrah, Pinot Gris, and Viognier. These are wines of exceptional character and your trip to the New World of Wine will benefit a lot if you stop and spend in the Santa Maria Valley with Cambria wines.

Syrah
Syrah/Shiraz - Two names of one and the same grape variety - the winemakers from the Old world use Syrah and the ones from the New world - Shiraz. The grape is a deep red, even the pulp, therefore this variety is not suitable for blanc de noir wine style. Syrah wine has specific floral aromas in its youth and develops notes of herbs and spices such as white and black pepper as it ages. These varietal specifics come out better when blended with a small amount of Viognier - a method gaining popularity more and more around the world. Syrah produces wines capable of ageing and improving over decades, which enhances its plummy and almost oriental spicy flavours.
