Pillsbury Wine Company
is the brainchild of
Sam Pillsbury, award-winning New Zealand and
American Filmmaker.
“I
have been a Filmmaker for my whole working
life, but I have always wanted to grow wine
grapes and make wine. I grew up in New
Zealand and witnessed the evolution of the
wine industry there, and wondered if the
same pioneering spirit could produce results
in rural Arizona. Above all, rather than
just make impressive high-alcohol fruit
bombs, which are so much fun (and we'll make
some of those) I wanted to make subtle,
complex wines with a unique regional
identity that would pair well with food.
Sam is joined in the
project by winemaker Eric Glomski, formerly
with David Bruce and Caymus wineries in
California, by Rob Dunaway,
attorney/businessman, voted one of Phoenix's
top 12 business advisors in the New Times
2001 Readers Poll and Lindsey Higginson, VP
Business Development.
Our
Vineyards
"What makes our vineyards so special?"
After many years of research we found a
perfect location in the heart of Cochise
County not far from Tombstone,
40
miles north of the Mexican border. The
Vineyard lies at 4300 feet above sea level.
The soil is an almost perfectly
PH-balanced, well-drained, sandy loam.
Day temperatures are identical to
those of the Rhone Valley, with high-desert
cool nights, perfect for grape ripening. We started planting
mostly Rhone French varieties: Syrah, Petite
Sirah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Malvasia.
