Stirm Wine Co. Calcite 2024 is a distinctive white table wine from California's Cienega Valley, produced by winemaker Ryan Stirm. Named after the rare ancient calcite limestone that dominates the region's alkaline soils—an uncommon feature in California—this wine captures the unique terroir of warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich earth that allow grapes to ripen fully while retaining vibrant freshness.The 2024 vintage is a blend of 46% old-vine Riesling (from the historic Wirz Vineyard), 29% Chenin Blanc, and 25% Chardonnay (both from Gimelli Vineyard), with vines ranging from 25 to 60 years old. Organically farmed and hand-harvested over multiple passes, the winemaking emphasizes minimal intervention: Riesling undergoes 24 hours of whole-cluster maceration for added texture and aromatics, while Chardonnay is direct-pressed. The juice settles naturally, ferments spontaneously with native yeasts in barrel, and ages on lees with low sulfur additions. It's unfined, lightly filtered, and bottled at just 12.5% ABV—completely dry, crisp, and electric with minerality.
