Broadside produces artisanal wines that are priced for people to drink, not collect. We produce balanced wine from interesting vineyards in small quantities. Our winemaking favors a natural approach in that our wines are minimally handled to best express the grape, site and vintage. Our commitment is to wines of balance and finesse that make sense on the dinner table. We harvest at lower sugars, employ native fermentation and use little to no new oak. Broadside combines the talents of winemakers Chris Brockway of Broc Cellars and Brian Terrizzi of Giornata.

Wild Ferment Chardonnay
90% stainless steel with the balance in Burgundy barrels. As its name indicates, Wild Ferment Chardonnay is made without the addition of yeast, bacteria or acid. The wine goes through malolactic fermentation naturally and is bottled unfined and unfiltered.
aromas of pineapple and lemon oil, yield to a palate of honey, apple blossom and wet chalk.

Margarita Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon
At just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean at an altitude of 1000 feet, the vineyard location results in perfect conditions for growing cabernet Sauvignon with warm days and cool nights. The resulting wine has an abundant intensity of fruit, but still maintains balance and freshness. In addition, hillside plantings and calcareous soil summed with lots of fossilized sea shells give the wine a mineral thread uncommon to most red wines at this price point. The wine was produced and bottled by Broadside a few miles east of the vineyard in the town of Creston.
