{"title":"Drew","description":"\u003cp\u003eDrew was started with a clear pursuit in mind: to craft small lot, cool climate wines that are expressions of the site they come from, truly representative of their variety. So when they were presented with the opportunity to buy an old 26 acre apple orchard within the Mendocino Ridge Appellation, they pounced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile others saw a daunting project in this old forgotten orchard, Jason and Molly saw ancient oceanic soils, south facing slopes at 1250 ft elevation, putting them just above the fogline and a true coastal climate, with the ocean a mere 3.3 miles away. With that leap, the Drew estate winery at Faîte De Mer Farm was born. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA true vigneron, Jason quickly went to work planting the eight acre estate to a collection of California heritage field selections, suitcase selections, and several Dijon clones of Pinot Noir. Additionally, two acres of Chardonnay were added along with a small truffle orchard to accompany the remaining 14 acre apple orchard. The entirety of the property is certified organic and is teeming with life. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine that Drew produces is a synthesis of this exceptional terroir and Jason’s immense talent and experience. Having studied in both the northern and southern hemispheres, in Agroecology, Viticulture and a Graduate Degree in Enology from the University of Adelaide, Jason went on to work for some legendary farmer\/producers. He worked at St. Supery alongside Kirk Grace as well as Joseph Phelps with Craig Williams, Luna with John Kongsgaard, Carmenet with Jeff Baker, Corison with Cathy Corison and Babcock Vineyards with Brian Babcock, totalling 29 years in the industry.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/sf.flatiron-wines.com\/collections\/drew.oembed","provider":"Flatiron SF","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
