Karen Yan Red! is 100% Carignan sourced from a single Madera AVA vineyard with vines approximately 105 years old. The vines are head-trained and dry-farmed organically. At roughly 12% ABV, this is a light, chillable red made using carbonic maceration, giving it a Beaujolais-like bounce and bright, juicy fruit without heaviness.
Purity Wine is the project of Noel Diaz, who began making wine in 2013 out of Richmond, California after nearly 20 years working in restaurants. His winemaking philosophy centers on native yeast fermentation, no fining or filtration, and near-zero sulfur additions. Every bottle carries full back-label transparency on what was and was not done to the wine.
Madera AVA sits on the San Joaquin Valley floor, bounded by the San Joaquin River to the southwest and the Sierra Nevada to the east. Elevations range from roughly 130 to 390 feet, with alluvial loam soils and a hot, dry growing season averaging around 12 inches of annual rainfall. Old-vine Carignan thrives here, producing fruit with natural acidity that offsets the region's heat.
The Karen Yan vineyard name references the grower. At 105 years old, these vines produce low yields with concentrated flavor and reliable acidity — qualities that make carbonic-style Carignan from old California plantings worth seeking out.
