About Dillian Wines
Dillian Wines is named for an invented name — the winemaker's own creation, not inherited from family history or drawn from geography or mythology but simply invented, a new word whose sound and character the winemaker chose. The invented-name philosophy declares independence from naming conventions: if the wine doesn't follow convention, why should the name?
The Fairplay Road estate in Somerset produces Zinfandel, Barbera, Grenache, and Petite Sirah from Fair Play AVA estate vineyard blocks at high elevation with the invented-name independence philosophy the coined name implies.
