TASTING NOTES FOR HOLMAN RANCH’S NEW WINE RELEASES ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

Holman Ranch produces a range of estate wines, including pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and a rosé made from pinot noir grapes. Carmel Valley, California, on the 10th of May, 2015 – Holman Ranch produces a range of estate wines, including pinot noir, pinot gris, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, and a rosé made from pinot noir grapes. The 21 acres of grapes that make up holman ranch are located at an elevation ranging from 950 to 1150 feet. The root stocks as well as the soils play the most significant roles in the production of high-quality fruit from the vineyards. Carmel Valley’s viticulture relies heavily on the Santa Lucia Mountains, which are located all around the region. The surrounding hills are responsible for preventing the coastal layer and the wide winds from moving through the area, which is excellent for the production of dependably fine fruit. In addition, sedimentary soils like chock rock and carmel stone, which both provide adequate soil drainage, play a significant part in the processes that are used to produce wine. The holman ranch “stresses the vines” of the fruit by placing more of a priority on reproduction, which, as a result, causes the fruit to cease growing and mature. The shape of the valley makes it possible for there to be fog in the morning, but it quickly lifts as the air temperature rises, which is ideal for growing pinot noir grapes. Both the height and the closeness of the grapes to the water are advantageous for the vines. The vines at Holman Ranch are planted at an angle that is 15 degrees off from due north. This placement ensures that the fruit zone receives sunshine throughout the day while also providing enough shelter from the wind. Our fruit has not been treated with any chemical herbicides or pesticides, and we have been awarded certification as both organic and sustainable growers. Holman Ranch is also home to vines and a winery that are entirely on the property. The wines produced by holman ranch are left unrefined and are hand-crafted so that they showcase the grape’s natural variety from harvest to table. When it comes to the production of wine, honesty and enthusiasm are vital components, and Holman Ranch excels precisely because of these qualities. tasting notes on the newly released wines from Holman Ranch: ’13 – Big Daddy – Late Harvest Pinot Noir • The production of our very first ever late harvest pinot noir took a considerable amount of time. This huge daddy was aged for 18 months in neutral French oak and then strengthened with high percent brandy; it has a powerful and cozy flavor. There is a strong presence of notes of dark chocolate, yet the notes of toast, raspberry jam, and coffee nearly make you want to enjoy it for breakfast….hmmmm…….. ’13 -.5 degrees brix • faithful to the original and not much less great. Our blended pinot gris has just a touch of sweetness, but it packs a lot of tropical fruit flavor and has a very delightful citrus aroma.

The caverns are located on the property of the winery. The area of 3000 square feet stays between 58 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit at a constant temperature and has four tanks with a capacity of 750 gallons, four tanks with a capacity of 1200 gallons, and four open top tanks with a capacity of two tons apiece. Continuous storage is provided for one hundred (100) barrels made of French oak. The caverns provide a cold environment for the winery processes such as destemming, pressing, fermenting, and maturing, while the bottling process is carried out straight outdoors utilizing a mobile bottling line. When the harvest is in full swing, each day might see between 6 and 8 tons of grapes being processed. This may seem to be a low number, but it is because harvesting occurs between the hours of seven in the morning and noon on any given day. Grapes are hand-picked and placed into half-ton bins before being transported by tractors to the winery and then being brought to the destemmer using forklifts. White wines ferment for about two weeks at a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit and are bottled in the month of February, whilst red varietals ferment for just one week and are bottled at the beginning of June. Compost is made up of all of the fruit and vegetable scraps, including the skins, seeds, and stems. June, July, and August are typically slower months for our winery, with September being our biggest month overall. The winery expects to produce between 3,000 and 5,000 cases per year. The holman ranch, a family-owned vineyard and winery, is situated at the farthest north-eastern point of the Carmel Valley appellation. It is roughly 12 miles inland from the Pacific coast. In addition to being an ideal growing area for our vineyards, the ranch has also shown itself to be an outstanding growing place for Tuscan varietal olive trees, which have prospered under the moderate environment. The ranch is steeped in both history and romance. The climate and terroir of the appellation have been extremely important to the success of our wines. Our estate-grown wine varietals are planted on approximately 21 acres of undulating terrain. The wines that are produced are unfined and crafted to deliver the true varietal of the grape from harvest to bottle. The combination of the warmth of our interior valley and the cooling influence of the maritime layer has resulted in the creation of a microclimate that is well suited for the cultivation of pinot noir and pinot gris. our burgundy clones have flourished from the optimal combination of optimum climate, southern exposure and thin rocky soils. holman ranch tasting room: holman ranch’s carmel valley tasting room provides the ideal setting in which to swirl, taste, and appreciate the many nuances of wines produced by holman ranch vineyard and winery.

A variety of tree species, totaling one hundred in number, are planted inside the grove. These cultivars include 25 frantoio, 25 leccino, 10 mission, 25 coratina, 5 pendolino, and 10 picholine. They were all first planted in an orchard in Carmel Valley in the year 2194 and were relocated to Holman Ranch in 2007. Because these olive trees were so mature, we were able to start producing olive oil immediately away. Shale is the medium in which they are planted in order to achieve the highest levels of production and harvesting success. December is the month in which we manually harvest our fruit, which is followed by the milling process, which results in a product of exceptional quality. Even though the olive grove is not officially recognized as organic, we do our best to farm the trees using organic methods. However, our mill has been given an organic certification. Olive trees have alternating bearing, which is an important feature since it implies that in one year they may produce enough oil to fill 650 375-milliliter bottles, but in the next year they might only produce enough oil to fill 50 375-milliliter bottles. holman ranch historical context: holman ranch: a place where the memories of the past are ever-present.
