The Adelaida Keeper is a Rhône-style red blend crafted from organically farmed estate vineyards in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, situated in the Santa Lucia Mountain Range at elevations ranging from 1,400 to 2,050 feet. Produced by Adelaida Vineyards, this wine showcases the expressive terroir of the region through a rotating blend of Rhône varietals including Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Counoise, and Petite Sirah, with exact proportions varying by vintage.

The wine is aged 18 months in neutral French oak, preserving vibrant fruit character while adding structural complexity. Tasting notes reveal deep blue-purple hues with aromas of blueberry, dark chocolate, wild thyme, river rocks, and forest floor. On the palate, expect raspberry, Satsuma plum, and Herbs de Provence alongside secondary notes of anise, wild strawberry, licorice, acai, violets, and pepper. The wine is fruit-forward yet structured, with balanced acidity and a fresh, robust finish. Alcohol is approximately 15.3%.

This wine pairs well with mustard and chestnut braised chicken thighs, grilled pizza with red onions and feta, braised beef with olives, and pasta with wild mushrooms and shaved parmesan.
