  1. Brecon Estate Winery Receives 32+ Gold/Double Gold/ Platinum Reviews in 17 Months

    Brecon Estate Winery’s 2014 Albarino scored two 96 point reviews in two days from two prestigious Wine Publications

    Brecon Estate continues to receive outstanding, almost unheard of accolades for the Paso Robles Wine Region

    July 28, 2015 - Paso Robles, CA - Last Thursday, Doug Wilder from the purely domestic wine report, a prestigious Napa based subscription only wine review publication, gave the Brecon Estate 2014 Albarino a 96 pts and a day later the World Wine Championships scored it at 96 points, a humbling Platinum nod! “The Brecon team is just awestruck as this is such a rarity for a white wine, especially the lesser known Albarino from a Paso Robles based winery,” said Damian Grindley, Owner/Winemaker.

    These latest acknowledgements top a stellar rise for Brecon Estate, which opened its Vineyard Drive tasting room to much anticipation a mere 17 months ago and has since amassed over 32 Golds/Double Golds and a handful of Platinum medals. Since day one, Brecon has been at the forefront of elucidating the potential quality in this enigmatic Spanish grape varietal in SLO county. A vision that truly has come to fruition in their 2014 Brecon Estate Albarino.

  2. Paso Winery gets 96pts for a white. Almost unheard of!

    Brecon 2014 Albarino 96pts with the prestigious, subscription only, Doug Wilder | purely domestic wine report | www.pdwr.co

    Almost unheard of for a white from a Paso based winery.

    Here is the relevant extract.

    96 2014 Brecon Estate Albariño

    Central Coast, 13.5% 303 cs., $26

    Although it isn’t uncommon to see some dry white wines scoring in the mid to high 80 range, it isn’t because I don’t think there can be greatness found in the most unexpected places. That is certainly true of this wine. The nose is supple pineapple, gravel, lemon oil, sweet orange, melon with wafts of gardenia and jasmine. The palate is solid brightly textured with honey, lemon, melon and white blossoms. Exceptionally balanced and focused. Excellent purity through the polished vibrant finish. It is pure pleasure. Stunning wine. Tasted twice. Drink 2015 – 2017.
