Rhys Wine's evolution began with inspiration from Sicilian grapes Cariccante and Nerello Mascalese, leading to their establishment in Sonoma. Kevin Harvey, the owner, planted these varietals on a volcanic soil site, focusing on organic and dry-farming practices. The name change to Centennial Mountain reflects the vineyard's heritage and dedication to preserving the grape's character. The wines, especially the 2021 releases, exhibit intriguing flavors ideal for food pairings, emphasizing the importance of terroir and sustainable winemaking practices in California's wine culture.
Kevin Harvey was inspired by Sicily's indigenous varietals like Cariccante and Nerello Mascalese, which have been cultivated for millennia, leading to the creation of Rhys's Centennial Mountain wines.
The newly released 2021 Centennial Mountain stands out with a captivating Carricante, ideal for pairing with seafood, and a Nerello Mascalese that boasts prominent acidity, making it a great food companion.
