Vineyard
The grapes for this Gesture RVG were grown on our J. Lohr Rain Catcher Vineyard in the Adelaida District sub-AVA. Planted in 2010, it is the westernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles appellation. Here, a climate nearly identical to that of the northern Rhône combines with well-drained soils of calcareous shale and weathered sandstone to create a perfect site for growing Roussanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc.
Vintage
The spring of the 2023 vintage in western Paso Robles was moderate compared with recent vintages; given that the soils hold water very well, minimal irrigation was applied during most of the growing season until the heat of early September. Harvest began on October 11th with the Viognier and finished on October 30, 2023. The 2023 J. Lohr Gesture RVG beautifully reflects the creative efforts of both the vineyard and winemaking teams with an elegantly complex, yet subtle Rhône-style white blend.
