3 Brochelle Vineyards PASO ROBLES The founders of Brochelle Vineyards are grateful for the opportunity to express their artistic voices by creating wines that end up playing a part in some of life's most simple pleasures. Wine is used as a catalyst to commemorate joyous occasions, honor relationships and life's milestones, and creating something that has been used to share in these most intimate of times has truly been one of the greatest privileges of their vocation. Owner and operators, and husband-and-wife team, Brock and Michelle Waterman, don't take this responsibility lightly and have used it as a motivating force behind their small-but-mighty winery since establishing in 1998. When Brock and Michelle's relationship began in the late 1990s, they shared one memorable bottle of Paso Robles Zinfandel and it changed the course of their lives forever. They both fell in love with the rolling hills on the Westside of Paso Robles and each other, and that is where their story began. Located on 20 acres on a steep Westside hilltop in Paso Robles, Brochelle Vineyards uses a pure, no-fuss approach to winemaking. The grapes are always encouraged to speak for themselves and treated with the greatest of care—this way they'll quietly but surely reveal where they came from. The team uses Old World farming and winemaking techniques, and the boutique vineyard is purposely geared to produce small yields of intense, flavorful fruit. With minimal intervention during the winemaking process, the grapes truly reveal themselves in the glass. Estate-grown varieties include Zinfandel, Grenache, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre, and Alicante Bouschet. FACING PAGE: Our Estate vineyard is set on steep hillsides on the westside of Paso Robles.
