Outward Wines 'Shell Creek Vineyard' Valdiguie

Valdigué

Paso Robles, California

Outward Wines is a partnership between Natalie Siddique and Ryan Pace. They are focused on producing small-lot, site-specific wines that collectively showcase the diversity of terroir across California's Central Coast. They source grapes from expressive vineyards that span the region: including Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Monterey counties. All of the vineyards that they work with are farmed using organic or biodynamic practices and are located in close proximity to the cold Pacific Ocean.

In the cellar they strive to minimize inputs throughout the winemaking process in order to allow for a clear picture of what the site can provide naturally, and to give the wine a true sense of time and place. To that end, they utilize native yeast to carry out fermentations, age exclusively in old French oak barrels, and bottle without fining or filtration.
