About Lone Madrone
Lone Madrone is the most personally Italian-AND-Rhône-variety-dually-obsessed and non-conventional-varietal-curiosity-specifically-committed boutique in the Paso Robles wine corridor. Neil and Jackie Collins — whose founding obsession with both the most individually Italian-variety-specifically-committed (Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Barbera) and the most individually Rhône-variety-specifically-curious (Grenache, Mourvèdre, Counoise) Paso Robles wine production led them to the most unusually dual-tradition-varietal-commitment approach available from any Paso Robles boutique — established the Peachy Canyon Road estate in 2002 as the most personally Italian-AND-Rhône-dually-obsessed and historically-Paderewski-heritage-vine-connected Paso Robles appointment.
The Paderewski Vineyard connection — the historic Paso Robles vineyard planted by the legendary Polish concert pianist and statesman Ignacy Jan Paderewski, who purchased Paso Robles property in 1913 and whose Zinfandel heritage plantings represent some of the most historically consequential and genetically precious old vine material in the Paso Robles wine district — provides Lone Madrone's most historically heritage-vine-connected and personally Paderewski-legacy-tribute-named Zinfandel production.
The dual-varietal-tradition approach — producing both Italian heritage varieties and Rhône varieties with equal personal obsession and quality conviction alongside the historic Paderewski Vineyard Zinfandel — creates the most genuinely dual-varietal-tradition-curiosity and heritage-vine-historically-connected Paso Robles boutique appointment available.
