Tucked into the sandy loam soils of Manteca in San Joaquin County, the Loureiro Family Farm has quietly nurtured old-vine Grenache since 1959. Today, the vineyard is lovingly farmed by third-generation siblings Mel and Georgianne Loureiro, stewards of a living family legacy. These deep-rooted vines produce fruit of remarkable purity and poise—bright red berries, wild herbs, and a sunlit vitality that speak clearly to Marchelle’s devotion to old-vine vineyards and the stories they tell.
