Nestled in the heights of Mount Veeder, Pym-Rae embodies the meeting of a centuries-old viticultural heritage and the singular terroir of the Napa Valley.
This high-altitude vineyard, with its sedimentary base of sandstone, shale and volcanic tuff, is the canvas on which the Tesseron family applies its in-depth expertise in Bordeaux grape varieties.
These deeply-rooted vines, with an average age of 32 years, capture the essence of this unique terroir, resulting in vibrant, expressive wines, while preserving freshness and purity of fruit.
The estate’s unique practices, including dry-farming, no pruning and raising their own cows, underscore a philosophy of balance and an intimate connection with the land.
Pym-Rae’s limited-production wines are a testament to a “certified biodynamic humanist” approach, where the individuality of each vine contributes to a symphony of distinct yet incomparable flavors for discerning palates.
