| Nestled among the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains, in the western edge of Cuyama Valley, Alere Vineyards produces zinfandel and rhone-varietals. With roots firmly planted in the soils of Santa Barbara County's northernmost reaches, the vines are nourished by nature and tended by three generations. At an elevation of 2,400 feet, our vineyard flourishes in a climate very similiar to that of the southern Rhone Valley. We have chosen to grow mostly Rhone-varietals, along with a bit of Zinfandel. We are constantly working towards being good stewards of our natural and human resources. In fact, our name "Alere", (ah lare ay), is derived from Latin and means "to nourish". Joe Haslett, our winemaker, crafts the essence of these grapes into wines that we hope you will enjoy. We are members of the Rhone Rangers www.rhonerangers.org an organization dedicated to promoting American Rhone-style varietal wines. We also participate in and support Hospice du Rhone www.hospicedurhone.org the world's largest international celebration of Rhone wines. |
