THE STORY
Austin Hope brings years of formal and informal education and experience to the Austin Hope Label. Between his time at Cal Poly, and his apprenticeships under Chuck Wagner and in the Rhône Valley, he has an intimate knowledge of the winemaking process, from vine to bottle. Austin Hope wine combines Austin’s zest for life with his determination to make exceptional wine. The estate brand is an artisanal wine of small production. Oftentimes only available to the wine club and in the tasting room, there is rarely any left for our local, fine-wine shops.
While Austin’s specialty is getting this exceptional wine into the bottle, he knows a fair bit about getting it out of the bottle too. He’s the kind of guy you want have a drink with and his wine is the kind of wine you want to share with a friend. In an era when wine has become a business, Austin’s still making it because he likes to drink it. He loves how it flavors the events and memories of our lives.
From tableside to fireside, Austin Hope wine represents the passion we hope you get out of every bottle of our wine. We love being a part of your experiences and memories and hope you’re having just as much fun drinking our wine as we’re having making it.
THE ESTATE
The Austin Hope label sources its fruit from the Hope family estate vineyard. Located 20 miles from the ocean in the Templeton Gap district of Paso Robles, the Hope Family Vineyard is nestled in the coolest region of Paso Robles and is characterized by rich, rocky soil of clay and limestone. These characteristics produce the finest Rhône varietals in the region.
Upon returning from his studies in the Rhône Valley of France, Austin Hope replanted the Hope Family Vineyard to varieties best suited to the unique microclimate. He planted close and prunes aggressively, asking very little of each plant. This technique produces elegant and refined wines with true Rhône characteristics. Maintaining our commitment to sustainability, the Hope Family Vineyard has been SIP certified (sustainability in practice) since 2009.
