As Paso Robles becomes recognized as one of the world\u2019s premiere producers of Cabernet Sauvignon<\/strong><\/a> and red Bordeaux varietals<\/strong><\/a>, the area has seen significant growth in red Bordeaux plantings. Today, more than 57 percent of Paso Robles vineyard acreage are made up of Cabernet Sauvignon and other Bordeaux varieties. The resulting wines are approachable, complex and age-worthy, and continue to win over critics and wine enthusiasts alike with their terroir-driven nuances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated inland on the Central Coast, but close enough to the Pacific Ocean to enjoy maritime influences, Paso Robles is a superb region for growing grapes. Here, mountainous slopes, diverse soil types and large diurnal shifts in day to night temperatures result in idyllic growing conditions for grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cPaso Robles is a rare phenomenon,\u201d shares Daniel Daou, Co-owner and Winemaker of DAOU Vineyards & Wines<\/a><\/strong>, \u201cit has the soils of Bordeaux and the climate of Napa, and when you put this combination together, it\u2019s something that is rare and special. It allows us as winemakers to take a very minimalist approach to making wine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adds Doug Filipponi, Co-owner of Ancient Peaks Winery,<\/a> \u201cThe climate here in Paso is quite unique. We get heat during the day, but at night we have these intense diurnal shifts in temperature, putting more minerality into the berries and creating unique flavor profiles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","post_title":"Paso Robles","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"paso-robles","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-08-08 16:16:38","post_modified_gmt":"2024-08-08 20:16:38","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/?post_type=wine_region&p=8110","menu_order":0,"post_type":"wine_region","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"sub_region":{"term_id":1805,"name":"Templeton Gap District AVA","slug":"templeton-gap-district-ava","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1805,"taxonomy":"sub_region","description":"","parent":0,"count":1,"filter":"raw"},"address_1":"1315 N Bethel Rd","address_2":"","country":{"ID":418,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_date_gmt":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_content":"","post_title":"United States","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"united-states","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_modified_gmt":"2017-10-30 21:41:59","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/?post_type=country&p=418","menu_order":0,"post_type":"country","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"state":{"ID":1431,"post_author":"3","post_date":"2018-02-21 12:33:29","post_date_gmt":"2018-02-21 12:33:29","post_content":"","post_title":"California","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"california","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-02-21 12:33:29","post_modified_gmt":"2018-02-21 12:33:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.winetraveler.com\/?post_type=state&p=1431","menu_order":0,"post_type":"state","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},"city":"Templeton","postal_code":"93465","lat":"35.5772607","lng":"-120.722921","place_id":"ChIJ-QrvPzDb7IAR-xmzziQpNwY","tasting_details":"Our beau\u00adti\u00adful mediter\u00adranean-style tast\u00ading room is open 7 days a week and fea\u00adtures some of the best estate grown wines Paso Rob\u00adles has to offer.

Albari\u00f1o, known as Alvarinho in Portugal, is a Galician variety currently found in coastal regions of the Iberian peninsula. At one point thought to be a relative of Riesling, it is now thought to be a cousin of Petit Manseng<\/a><\/strong>, a French grape typically used in blends in southern France<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
