The Wine Down - Discover Rockpile with Clay Mauritson of Mauritson Wines
EPISODE SYNOPSIS:
Clay Mauritson joins The Wine Down to bring some outrageous varietals from his family imprint, Mauritson Wines, and discuss the details of soil, terrain, and elevation of the Rockpile Appellation.
Clay is one of the most knowledgeable wine makers we know, and to hear him talk about the environmental impact on the grapes, as well as the distinct traits of different soil is almost intimidating. That is, until his easy going demeanor keeps the character of the conversation down to earth.
It goes to show that in the age of mass produced wines, to be an independent winemaker requires more knowledge than ever. Drink up!
GUEST BIO:
Clay Mauritson's family has been farming in what is now known as the Rockpile Appellation, since 1884. The Mauritson family label finds its home in Dry Creek, home to some of the most awarded wines in California.
From his appearance in the Rose Bowl to the Cotton Bowl as an Outside Linebacker for the Oregon Ducks, Clay now finds himself carrying on as the 6th generation grape grower and winemaker. He now combines his family's vineyards with those of his own in the heralded Dry Creek Appellation, located just outside of Healdsburg where he resides with his wife Carrie-
Anne, his two sons and two dogs.
