ALTA ORSA Wine Tasting Heritage Vines and Wines
This flight of Rosé, and two different Cabernets highlights the character of each region and vineyard site. This character is showcased through minimal intervention winemaking that produces truly expressive wines.
Wine Flight
ORSA Rosé of Pinot Noir 2022
Provençal style Rosé leads with aromatic notes of grapefruit, fresh strawberry, and crisp pink lady apple. The delicate minerality is accompanied by flavors of grapefruit, rhubarb, and rose water. Carries all the natural acidity one would expect from a direct-to-press Rosé and a hint of lingering salinity.
ORSA Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
Aromas of ripe blueberries, figs, tobacco, and wet slate. Flavors marry complex graphite-laced minerality, silky tannin, deep black fruit, and spice.
Estate Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Dark mineral tones are reminiscent of our slate soils, accompanied by hints of graphite, dark chocolate, vanilla, and blackberry jam. Full-bodied, loads of dark fruit, round velvety tannins, and lively backbone, finishing with epic length. Deep garnet-purple colored.

About the Winery
Located in Hopland, CA Alta Orsa is the story of land, the vision and labor of their small team — led by their winemaker Martin Bernal-Hafner. The core chapter of their story is centered on a holistic approach to farming. As stewards of this 160-acre mountain property, they tend to 12-acres of hillside vineyards with regenerative organic practices — treating their soils as a living ecosystem and nature as our partner. Patience, observation, science, and experimentation guide their approach. Since the planting of their high-density vineyard in the late 1980s, they have practiced no-till farming, minimal organic sprays, cover cropping, no tractors between the rows, and no herbicides under the vine. They sincerely believe this philosophy preserves the unique sense of place and leads to wines that are classic, elegant, and worth laying down.
