Though the vast majority of the Turley wines are single vineyard designates, Juvenile is actually composed of a variety of young vines that have been replanted in several of their most heralded old vine sites. The vines that make up Juvenile range in age from about 6-25 years, and they pull from 27 of their best vineyards across California, including Hayne, Ueberroth, Pesenti, Salvador, Vineyard 101, Fredericks and Kirschenmann. The new vines are tagged when replanted, so as not to mix the brand-new vine with its much older neighbors, then these young vines are picked separately and make a distinct wine.
Most of the vineyards used by Turley are farmed organically and/or dry-farmed. By farming organically and focusing on old vine vineyards of these varieties, Turley aims to both create and preserve California's unique winemaking culture.
