Matthew Gibson Winery

Matthew Gibson Winery Matthew Gibson Winery is a family run business located in the Sierra Nevada foothillls of Amador County.

We specialize in small lot boutique wines made with love and care. We use no pumps, additives, filters, or other chemical or physicals means with seem to be the industry norm. Moreover, we are in charge of every step of the process from beginning to end. We plant the vines, grow the grapes, and process the wine from fermentation to bottling. By doing so we believe we can maintain strict control over the process and produce exceptional wines with character.

Cabernet and Primitivo are in the vats! It was good to have the kids back to help with the pick and crush. Even though it was a challenging year (growing), the numbers turned out pretty good. The grapes were so dark this year, it stained the equipment, lol. Here are the numbers, Cab Brix 24.75, ph 3.39, Primitivo, Brix 24.20, ph 3.38. With this low of a ph, the ferments will likely take around 20 days to complete. We will then seal the lids and do a 35 days post ferment maceration. In 2025, they will be ready to drink. Love this time of year. Start of a new beginning (which we all can use! Lol)

First pick is in the vats! Thanks all for coming out and giving a hand! End result, 6.5 tons on this pick. Here are the numbers
Syrah 25.25 Brix,. Ph 3.48
Nebbiolo 24.50 Brix, PH 3.29
Sagrantino 25.0 brix, pH 3.51

Ferments should take about 20 days +/- to dryness. Then a 30 to 60 days post fermentation maceration. Next pic cab and Primo (October???).

First pick for 2021! Viognier is in. Thanks all for your help. We picked and pressed Saturday, then let the juice sit in an ice bath for 24 hours. (Numbers 24.25 Brix, pH 3.31). Bottled the 2020 Viognier Sunday and put the clear juice in the barrels to ferment at 57 degrees. Checked this morning. Ferment has started. About 30 to 60 days till it is dry (12 months on the lees then). Next Saturday Syrah, Sagrantino, Nebbiolo (6 to 8 ton). Stay well all. .

Last week I had a taster ask "what's up with all the flowers under the vines". Good question. I leave some flowers, legumes, other in the rows for three reasons. First, there is biodiversity, second nitrogen fixing, and lastly a home for some of the beneficial insects I introduced years ago. Between the chickens, natural vegetation, natural predators, and no till I have been able to not use any pesticides in the last 3 years. I like to think of it this way. Monolithic soils makes monolithic wines. Diverse soils, the opposite! Stay well all.

Fruit set just starting. The winner is.... Nebbiolo (like usual). Nice small clusters with loose spacing. So far, no sprays on the vineyard yet. No need, everything is very clean. When and if we do spray, it will probably just be a light sulfur dusting like last year. The predatory mites (and lady bugs, etc..) I put in a couple of years ago seem to be self sustaining. This is the good side of having an isolated vineyard; if clean let it be. Love this time of year!!!! Start of a new beginning.

Our 2016 Cab Bordeaux blend just won Double Gold and Best of Class at the Amador County Fair Wine Comp. The rest of our wines also received the usual mix of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Metals. We did not disclose, nor is there a category for Natural Wine. Good to see Natural style wines stand up so we'll verses others. They all spend a min of 2 years in the barrel, then 2 years in the bottle before release. No chems, pumps, or filters (except a small does of sulfur for protection). . . Lol.

Each year we have random emails to Wine Club that for whatever reason bounce back. Below is a copy of what our latest release entails. Not a Wine Club Member? Join! Thanks all.

Hello Wine Club Members,

Well we have all made it through another year! Crazy times. Thank you all for hanging in there and for your support.

Concerning the Spring WC shipment, we are releasing the 2016 Estate Primitivo and 2016 Estate Kim's Rosso. As usual, they are all natural, no chems, pumps or preservatives. Here is a quick explanation about the wines:

2016 Estate Primo:. This year I decided to switch gears. I am gradually switching my wine making technique to my taste buds, which are more Italian than California. Here the ferment was low and slow. It took about 20 days to complete. Then, I sealed the lid and let the wine macerate on the skins and everything for 65 days! Normal for most wineries is a 5 day ferment and 2 or 7 days on the skin. The end result is that our 2016 primo is a very elegant wine that has flavor and texture of a fine Brunello. It is extremely good!!!

2016 Kim's Rosso. This year we decided to make a true Rosso reminiscent of a Northern Italy Piedmont Rosso (Rosso means red in Italian). Here the dominate variety is thus Nebbiolo (about 60%). The rest is split up between Syrah, Cab, and Primitivo. I think it is our best Rosso yet!!

Thanks all for your loyalty! This fall the 2018 Sagrantino will be released. Cannot wait.

Stay well, stay sane, God bless, and do not drink wine with chemicals!

Matt and Kim
