| 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. Because our families have a long-standing respect for the earth, we use sustainable farming practices to help protect the environment and native wildlife. We believe in caring for the land that feeds us. In fact, our name "Alere", is derived from Latin and literally means "to feed, nourish, increase". Joe Haslett, our winemaker, crafts the essence of these grapes into wines that we hope you will enjoy. |
