Layer Cake came back to their homeland, Napa, next and decided it was time to seek out some special vineyards here as well. Sourced from vineyards in one of the greatest regions of the world for growing Sauv Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand, has soil that brings a beautiful flinty brightness to this complex wine. The newest stamp on the Layer Cake passport is the New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. Upon meeting numerous fantastic family growers to work with, the Layer Cake Malbec was born. Argentina is now known as the best place on the planet to grow Malbec, hands down.

The goal became to make great wine from these vineyards, and with diligence, sell the wines at a price that would over-deliver compared to the offerings on the retail shelves, so we were off to the races.ĭuring a visit to Puglia to investigate the flavors behind Carole Meredith’s recent studies showing that Primitivo is indeed identical to Zinfandel, we discovered the largest cache of old-vine Zinfandel grapes in the world, which borthed the Layer Cake Primitivo. It all started in South Australia, when they met a few growers, swapped stories over a few pints, then went to walk around some vineyards. The character of each Layer Cake wine is influenced by the vineyard soil, which is layered like a cake…every layer tells a story. They are handpicked, separated and fermented with care, then aged in French Oak.

Layer Cake works directly with the farmers that grow their grapes to exacting standards in some of the most diversely-layered vineyards around the world.

Wild at heart layer cake
