Adelaida Vineyards & Winery

Adelaida Vineyards & Winery is a west side Paso Robles estate that pioneered planting on the area's limestone soils, and the same family has run it continuously for 50 years. The van Steenwyk family, who purchased the Adelaida Road property in 1981 before the Paso Robles AVA existed, before the west-side calcareous limestone subregion was recognized as distinct from the east-side clay and alluvial growing environments, and before any significant critical attention had been directed toward Paso Robles as a fine wine producing region, demonstrated the most extraordinary viticultural foresight in identifying the Adelaida District's calcareous limestone and significant elevation as ideal for the most minerally structured and age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon and Rhône variety wines in the western Paso Robles corridor.

The Adelaida District terrain, where exposed calcareous white limestone outcroppings, marine fossil deposits in the soil profile, significant elevation above the Salinas River valley floor, and dramatic diurnal temperature swings that can exceed 50°F between daily maximum and minimum temperatures create growing conditions of extraordinary vine stress and natural concentration, produces Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Viognier of mineral precision and structural depth unavailable from any lower-elevation or less-calcareous-specific Paso Robles growing environment.
