理想的生长条件
我们的葡萄园位于帕索罗布尔斯西侧海拔1400英尺(约430米)的山坡上,占地12英亩,土壤贫瘠,富含钙质,非常适合种植低产优质葡萄。我们采用旱作种植,并遵循可持续的种植方式。
除了波尔多葡萄品种外,我们最近还在家庭住宅附近的山顶上种植了黑比诺,利用该地多样化的小气候。
年产量限制为 2,600-3,000 箱,采用传统方法酿造:小批量发酵、手工压帽和桶陈。
自 1996 年赢得第一枚金牌以来,我们的葡萄酒因其优雅和深度而不断获得认可。
实现梦想
鲍勃·邓宁对葡萄酒的热爱始于他在加州葡萄酒产区游历期间。20世纪80年代,邓宁家族收购了帕索罗布尔斯的酒庄,并于1991年推出了首款年份酒。
1986 年,鲍勃开始从詹姆斯·贝瑞 (James Berry) 那里采购霞多丽,最终用贝瑞的插枝种植了自己的葡萄园。
目标很明确:酿造庄园种植、庄园装瓶的葡萄酒。
随着时间的推移,葡萄园的规模不断扩大,包括赤霞珠和梅洛,并添加了精选水果制成的仙粉黛和罗纳风格的混合酒。
酿酒艺术
根植于传统的小批量酿酒
在邓宁酒庄,酿酒是一项用心、亲手打造的工艺。每批酒均在小型敞口酒桶中单独发酵,确保每个阶段都细致入微。红葡萄酒经过手工轻柔压榨,以增强酒体结构,保留细腻的香气,捕捉果香精髓,但又不会过度压榨。
白葡萄酒在法国橡木桶中发酵,以形成层次丰富的口感和微妙的复杂性。我们采用极简主义的酿造方法,尽可能使用本地酵母,并在低温下精心控制每次发酵,以保持葡萄酒的特色和平衡。
陈酿过程在精心挑选的法国橡木桶中进行,新橡木与中性橡木的巧妙搭配,以保持葡萄酒的自然深度。从发酵到调配,每一步都以经验和感觉为指导,最终酿造出口感集中、优雅,并带有邓宁 (Dunning) 标志性的葡萄酒。
真正的家族酒庄
在邓宁酒庄,家人不仅仅是幕后工作人员,更是我们一切工作的核心。鲍勃·邓宁和乔安·邓宁经常在品酒室里斟酒,招待宾客。
他们的儿子加勒特(Garrett)负责管理葡萄酒俱乐部,并正在深入参与家族事业。你还会发现,他们的大家庭成员会在活动中伸出援手,或在品酒室帮忙。
如果家里的金毛猎犬 Penny 过来打招呼,请不要感到惊讶!

92 from Vinous for our 21 Cabernet Reserve Darkly floral and earthy in all the best possible ways. The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve wafts up with shaving of blood orange, crushed blackberries, sage and incense. It floods the palate with silken textures and a mix of sweet and sour wild Berry fruits, all guided by fresh acidity as fine-grained tannins mount toward the close. This tapers off long, structured and staining, leaving the mouth watering for more as hints of licorice persist. Thank you Eric Guido! Taste this gem by appointment at Dunning Vineyards. Message or website.Button

Grenache is one of the most widely planted grapes in the world. It ripens late, so it needs hot, dry conditions such as those found in Spain, where the grape originated. Here in Paso Robles we have a slightly cooler climate. So it is usually one of the last varietals to be harvested, but it‘s certainly worth the wait!Button

In 2007 there were roughly 100 wineries in Paso Robles, currently there are over 200(To give some scale, there are about 400 wineries in Napa Valley). We’re glad to be one of the first estate wineries in the region, and we’re excited to see what the future has in store! #TBTButton
