The Art of Petite Sirah

The Art of Petite Sirah

At Retro Cellars, Petite Sirah is more than just a varietal; it represents a journey of bold character and cool-climate elegance. Our story began with a single barrel sourced from the historic Park-Muscatine vineyard on Howell Mountain, where Petite Sirah vines have flourished since the 1890s. Each bottle is crafted with meticulous, hands-on care, showcasing a perfect blend of old-world winemaking traditions and modern-day finesse.

Our Petite Sirah is distinguished by its deep, rich color and a robust flavor profile that captivates the senses. As you savor the intense blackberry notes, hints of plum, and the peppery undertones that gracefully evolve with age, you’ll discover the intricate layers that make this wine truly unique. The natural acidity and well-integrated tannins create a balanced structure, allowing the wine to age beautifully while remaining approachable in its youth.

At Retro Cellars, we believe in the importance of terroir, and each sip of our Petite Sirah tells the story of its origins. Join us as we celebrate this remarkable grape, its rich heritage, and the artistry behind every vintage. Experience how Petite Sirah embodies our commitment to authentic winemaking, and discover why it holds a special place in our hearts—and on our tables.
