Adroît
Adroît produces wines from San Benito County in California's Central Coast, a region known for its cool microclimates and diverse terroir. The winery works with distinctive grape varieties—Barbera, Colombard, Trousseau, and Falanghina—that thrive in the area's variable conditions. The Petillant Naturel Rosé Stanislaus, a lightly sparkling blend of Barbera and Colombard, demonstrates the winery's approach to capturing freshness and complexity. The Whole Cluster Trousseau showcases the rustic character of this lesser-known variety, while the Falanghina, an Italian white, reflects the winery's interest in exploring Mediterranean cultivars in a California context.
