Papera Ranch

Papera Ranch is an old-vine Zinfandel vineyard, located on the eastern side of the Laguna de Santa Rosa in the Russian River AVA, Sonoma County, California. The vineyard is named for Charley Papera, who planted the vines in 1934. Most of Charley’s original planting remains in place today. The old vines are head pruned and farmed without trellising or irrigation to produce high quality harvests. The resulting intensely flavorful grapes are prized by a number of wineries who produce great old-vine Zinfandel, much of which is vineyard designated. Papera Grapes are lovingly transformed into critically acclaimed wines by: Morgan Twain-Peterson at Bedrock http://bedrockwineco.com Mike Officer at Carlisle Jeff Mangahas at Williams Selyem
