OUR WINES

Tarrica’s (TARE-RI-CA) grapes are farmed in California’s best growing regions, which provide the ideal climate for producing the highest quality wines. Our winemaking is focused on showcasing the natural flavors of the grapes in a well-balanced, easy to enjoy style.
Olde Shandon Port Works
is the winery’s highly recognized specialty Port wine.
Stylistically we intend our “Barrel Matured” Port to provide some of the experience of drinking
a Vintage Port but without waiting ten years and at a fraction of the retail price.
