OUR WINEMAKING PHILOSOPHY At JUSTIN, we combine traditional Old World methods-like hand-harvesting and small-barrel aging in French oak-with New World technology. The hot days allow the grapes to develop intense flavor, while the cool nights create great structure and balance. CLIMATE – Paso Robles’ distinctive microclimate offers the widest day-night temperature swings of any grape-growing region in California. The limestone “stresses” the vines, producing grapes that fully express their varietal character. SOIL – Rich in fossilized limestone from eons of marine deposits, JUSTIN’s soil is ideally suited to creating big, Bordeaux-style reds. Since then, we’ve expanded both our knowledge of viticulture in this unique region as well as our acreage.
