Fine wines from Straw House Cellars

Settled in the picturesque Sierra foothills, a region known for its climate that closely mirrors that of Spain, Straw House Cellars has carved out a niche specializing in the cultivation of Spanish varietals. This unique terroir allows the winery to produce exceptional wines that capture the essence and tradition of Spanish winemaking.

At the heart of their offerings is Tempranillo, often referred to as the noble grape of Spain. This varietal is renowned for its depth and complexity, drawing comparisons to Cabernet Sauvignon. Tempranillo boasts a versatile flavor profile that makes it an excellent pairing for a variety of dishes. It complements the flavors of tapas, pork, and grilled or roasted entrees beautifully. Whether enjoyed with a meal or savored on its own, Tempranillo promises a delightful experience for the palate.

Tom Chase, the passionate grower and winemaker behind Straw House Cellars, brings a meticulous approach to his craft. He employs traditional old-world methods, beginning with the hand-picking and crushing of the grapes. This careful attention to detail continues through the aging process, where the wine matures in American oak barrels, imparting a unique character and depth to the final product.

The result is a robust red wine that embodies the rich heritage of Spanish winemaking. Sharing a bottle of Straw House Cellars’ Tempranillo with friends is more than just enjoying a fine wine—it's experiencing a piece of Spain’s winemaking tradition right in the Sierra foothills. Whether you’re hosting a dinner or simply relaxing with loved ones, this wine promises to elevate any occasion. Enjoy the rich, bold flavors and the dedication that goes into every bottle.
