About Ecluse Winery
Ecluse Winery takes its name from the French écluse — the canal lock, the water gate that controls the transition of vessels between different elevations by filling and draining chambers. The lock as a metaphor for winemaking: the controlled passage that manages the transformation from raw grape to finished wine, the winemaker as the lock-keeper who regulates the process without forcing it.
The Adelaida District estate produces Grenache and Mourvèdre from calcareous limestone west-side Paso Robles vineyard sources with the passage-controlled philosophy that the écluse name declares.
