Rideau

Rideau produces wines from California's Central Coast, a region known for its cool maritime influences and diverse terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on Rhône-style expressions: Château Duplantier, a structured blend of Grenache, Petite Sirah, Syrah, and Mourvèdre; a Roussanne white; and a Reserve Syrah. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast and Wine Advocate. The Central Coast's variable microclimates—from coastal fog to inland warmth—support both the aromatic whites and the dark-fruited, peppery reds that define the region's character. Rideau's focus on Rhône varieties reflects the broader California trend toward Old World grape traditions adapted to New World conditions.
