Saxum

Located in the picturesque Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, Saxum Vineyards opened its doors with a commitment to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of their vineyards. Established by Justin Smith, the winery prioritizes Grenache, Syrah, and Mataro blends, drawing inspiration from the region’s rocky calcareous soils, steep hillsides, and the influence of cooling ocean breezes.

Since its inception, Saxum has embraced sustainable farming practices, steering clear of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides. The vineyard’s strategic location allows the roots to delve deep into the calcareous soil, minimizing the need for irrigation. With an annual production of around 8000 cases, Saxum offers a diverse selection of cuvees, including notable ones like Broken Stones, James Berry Vineyard, and The Hexe. By keeping yields low, picking fruit at peak ripeness, and adopting a minimalist approach in the cellar, Saxum Vineyards continues to epitomize the essence of Paso Robles in every bottle.
