The Vineyard Behind the Wine
The Olson family planted their first vines in the Templeton Gap in 2005, choosing a site where cool Pacific air drops evening temperatures by 40 to 50 degrees and forces the grapes to ripen slowly. Two decades later, the ONX Estate Vineyard grows 18 varieties across 127 acres of limestone and clay loam soils: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sauvignon Blanc, Picpoul Blanc, and more. The estate is organically farmed.
The soils, the elevation shifts, the temperature swings between day and night: that is what you taste in the glass.
From the Vineyard to the Cellar
Winemaker Drew Nenow has been making ONX wines since he arrived as a harvest intern in 2015. A Cal Poly enology graduate, Drew oversees both the vineyard farming and the winemaking, which means the same person who decides when to pick is the one crafting the final wine. Together with Associate Winemaker Lauren Lange, Drew produces everything from estate-grown Grenache and Syrah to single-varietal Petite Sirah, Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Pinot Noir.
