This wine is deep in color, wild, and somewhat flavorful.
There are two types of people in this world: those who achieve their success through steady hard work and study, and those who are born with some kind of talent.
For Matt Deas, being a brewer is his true calling.
Matt studied geology at the University of Vermont and gained wine experience in Staglin, Napa Valley and the Craggy Range in New Zealand.
Matt is one of the few winemakers who instinctively understands the journey from the soil to the grapes to the wine in your glass.
Matt is curious and has a strong spirit of adventure, and what he values most is putting his effort into the fields and cultivation.
Producing high quality wine begins with growing healthy grapes while taking into account soil conditions and weather.
The Pairing's philosophy is "winemaking without territories."
At The Pairing, we use grapes harvested from a variety of vineyards, find the style that best suits each grape, and then create an exquisite blend of wines.
The Pairing is the second wine shared by sister wineries Jonata and The Hilt, and is produced by winemaker Matt Dees.
The name "Paring" comes from the name of a paring knife or fruit knife, called a "pairing knife."
A fruit knife is a knife that every cooking enthusiast's kitchen must have, and it is versatile enough to be used with a wide variety of ingredients.
The Pairing wines are also crafted in adaptable styles that make them suitable for pairing with a variety of foods.
The style of the wine is extremely pure.
This wine is like a great supporting actor, not too assertive yet still having presence and flavor.
Although most of the appellation listed on the label is California, most of the grapes are actually of a quality that could be called Santa Barbara AVA.
Rather, The Pairing is not a wine to be enjoyed on that level, but rather a delicious wine that is sure to liven up moments spent with family and friends, and is a very reliable, go-to, casual wine brand that is easy to pair with a variety of situations.
