Alesia is a label owned and operated by Rhys Vineyards of Santa Cruz. Alesia and Rhys are owned by Kevin Harvey. Alesia wines are made from grapes purchased in the Sonoma Coast and in the Santa Lucia Highlands. Like Rhys estate wines, Alesia wines are primarly Pinot Noir. Syrah is also made under both labels.
Sonoma Coast AVA runs from San Pablo Bay in the south to Mendocino County in the north. It includes 7,000 vineyard acres and earned AVA status in 1987. Its proximity to the Pacific Ocean means it gets double the rainfall of nearby inland appellations and the ocean gives the appellation a relatively cool climate. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir can thrive in these conditions, and there are numerous producers making critically acclaimed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
This grape is grown in milder climates and produces a medium-to full-bodied wine. It is also known as Shiraz, but should not be confused with Petit Sirah, which was developed by crossing Syrah with Peloursin.
