Calcareous clay loam soils. Farmed using certified organic methods. Produced using 100% Carbonic maceration and all native yeasts. 5 months aging in neutral French oak. 750 cases produced. VEGAN. \u003cspan\u003eThe 2025 growing season in Edna Valley was cool and steady, with moderate summer temperatures and strong coastal influence allowing slow, even ripening. The extended season preserved bright acidity and aromatic clarity, producing balanced wines with freshness and precision.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright and lively, with aromas of wild strawberry and rose petal. The palate is light and energetic, carried by fresh acidity and delicate tannins, with subtle hints of forest floor and spice. A vibrant, Spring expression of Pinot Noir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRajat Parr is one of the most accomplished and celebrated wine professionals in the industry. Raj grew up in Calcutta, India where he found his love of hospitality working within family restaurants in New Delhi. It wasn’t until age twenty that Raj experienced his first taste of wine in London with his uncle in 1993, and from that point forward he found a calling that would lead him on an odyssey to the coastal enclave that today is called Phelan Farm.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRaj graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. He then went on to become the Wine Director for the Michael Mina Group \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003efor nearly two decades and co-founder of the acclaimed RN74 wine bar in San Francisco. He helped reshape the role of the sommelier as a public figure and educator, introducing broader audiences to the ever-evolving world of wine. In the second act of his career, Parr turned his attention from the cellar to the vineyard, becoming a driving force behind a new generation of California wine. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eRaj and his team bottle wines under the \u003cem\u003eBrij\u003c\/em\u003e label from purchased fruit (from Organic vineyards in the area) on the San Luis Obispo coast from friends and neighbors who farm organically. In the cellar, the approach is the same as at Phelan Farm: careful, thoughtful, and hands-off when possible. The wines are about clarity and energy, not weight or excess. They’re meant to be honest, precise, and easy to drink—clear expressions of where they are grown.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWinemaking is as simple as possible. All of the wines are fermented using natural yeasts, moved using gravity to flow to older, oak barrels of various sizes without any additives (except a tiny amount of sulfur if needed). The wines are bottled, corked and labeled by hand. Production is small with a little less than 1,000 cases produced. Raj Parr has artfully distilled his many years of real-life experience and passion into a place that showcases not only his love for the land and but also his commitment to pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the world of wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polaner","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49072670834940,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2097\/6375\/files\/PXL-20260508_234427351_2.jpg?v=1778296459","url":"https:\/\/www.winetroy.com\/products\/brij-wines-pinot-noir-printemps-slo-coast-2025","provider":"Troy Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
