About: In the heart of California's renowned Central Coast, a unique and refreshing red wine known as TABLE captures the essence of the region's diverse viticulture. Crafted by industry veteran Andrew Jones, this light-bodied, chillable red wine is made from a meticulously selected blend of California grapes..
The composition of TABLE showcases a blend of grape varieties, each contributing to its vibrant profile. The wine is predominantly made up of 21% Pinot Gris with skin contact, 19% Chardonnay, 15% Chenin Blanc, and 10% Merlot, all sourced from organic or practicing organic vineyards. Additionally, it includes 10% Cabernet Franc, 6% Melon de Bourgogne, 6% Zinfandel, 4% Xarel-lo, 4% Vermentino, 3% Syrah, and 2% Aglianico. These varieties are grown using sustainable practices, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

The winemaking process behind TABLE is a testament to Andrew Jones' commitment to natural and minimal intervention techniques. The grapes undergo fermentation with native yeasts, are aged in stainless steel, and receive only light filtration before packaging. With sulfur levels kept below 20ppm, the wine maintains its purity and freshness. This careful approach to winemaking preserves the integrity of the grapes and highlights the distinct characteristics of each variety. The result is a wine that embodies the rich agricultural heritage of California's Central Coast while offering a delightful and versatile option for wine enthusiasts everywhere.
