Gallica

Gallica is a collection of single vineyard wines produced by Rosemary Cakebread, who brings decades of experience from Napa and Bordeaux to her own winemaking endeavors. Founded in 2007, the winery honors the ancient apothecary rose with its name, reflecting its focus on aromatics in wine. Gallica's philosophy is centered around crafting elegant, single vineyard wines that accurately represent each unique vintage. The winery produces a range of varietals, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grenache, Albariño, and limited bottlings of estate-grown Petite Sirah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Gallica's estate vineyard in St. Helena is situated on family property with deep Cortina soils renowned for producing exceptional quality red wines. The winery has adopted holistic organic methods, certified by CCOF-California Certified Organic Farming, and has implemented practices such as composting, cover cropping, and native bee introduction to promote diversity and balance. Gallica's vineyards are scattered across Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley, with each location offering distinct terroir characteristics. The Oakville Ranch Vineyard in Napa Valley boasts red soils of volcanic origin, while the Rossi Ranch in Sonoma Valley features marginal soils laced with light volcanic ash. Terra Alta Vineyard in Lodi is Gallica's only white wine source, though details about this vineyard are limited in the provided text. Overall, Gallica's winemaking style is characterized by a Burgundian approach, with an emphasis on elegance and nuance in its wines.
