Sourced from the two hectare Branella vineyard. Purchased by the family in 1981. The name of the vineyard, Branella, comes from the name of the former owner of the parcel. The Branella vineyard has different zones within it with distinct geological variations. Some classic "speckled" blue clay marls on the northern / top of the vineyard. Distinct sandy zone in the center with a lower pH.

With ever increasing hot vintages, the summer of 2022 saw steady rain allowing vines to healthily ripen the grapes. The Pepes returned to hand harvesting in 2022 to preserve the integrity of bunches. They saw smooth fermentations and lovely, balanced wines.
