Florèz Wines was started by James Jelks in 2017. James grew up in the Santa Cruz area and studied winemaking at UC Davis. He worked in wineries all over the world for 10 years before returning home to make wine in the Santa Cruz area. He farms some vineyards himself, always dry-farmed, and also sources some fruit from organic and sustainable vineyards. He always works with native yeasts, does not use additives except for a minimal amount of sulfur at bottling, and does not fine or filter the wines. 

Light and crunchy with tart zippy red and black fruits, cedar, and a bit of turned earth to round out the palate.
