2022 AD Beckham Aequalis
The A.D. Beckham wines are a convergence of two passions- ceramics and wine. The terra cotta amphorae used to make these wines are handcrafted in Andrew’s studio on our vineyard.

Pinot Noir fruit from our estate and Pinot Gris from our neighbors at Carabella Vineyard co-fermented on skins in amphora for 40 days, pressed and returned to amphora then bottled un-fined and un-filtered. Clear pale ruby in color, with dusty strawberries and a hint of eucalyptus and tea on the nose. Warm summer strawberries, apricots and earth on the palate surrounded by baking spices and juicy acidity that pulls through to the finish. The Aequalis not Pinot noir or Pinot gris but a beautiful bright expression of both. The more we get to know this wine the more complex it becomes. We are pretty excited to share it with you and hope you love it as much as we do.
