See here our shipping policy.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package; carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older. Shipping to PO Boxes is not allowed.

Ship to a FedEx Store

If nobody can be at your address to sign for the package, you can have your order sent to a FedEx store instead. Enter your preferred FedEx store as the shipping address at checkout and we'll ship your order there. Once it arrives, you have 5 business days to pick it up, and you'll need to show your ID.

Re-shipping a Package

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles. Shipping wine is extremely expensive. We are sorry about this, but we have no other choice. Please make sure there's always someone at the address you enter as your shipping address.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

Re-routing a Package

If you'd like to reroute a package after it's been shipped, we can do so for a $20 re-routing fee. We cannot re-route a package across state borders. For any change of address, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 1-2 days from placing the order or we cannot guarantee we'll be able to reroute or change your order's shipping address.

Canceling an Order

If you'd like to cancel an order after it's been shipped, we can do so upon payment of a small cancellation fee – the amount depends on the size of the order. Carriers charge us a lot of money to recall a package en-route.

Heat/Frost damage

We are not responsible for heat- or frost-related issues. We offer ice packs upon request, at a cost, but even so, we can't be held liable if it's 104 where you are and corks pop. Please let us know if you think that there could be heat-related issues. If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Placed an order. What next?

1. You will receive an order confirmation email with your order summary.*

2. As soon as your order ships from the warehouse, usually within 2-3 business days, this applies to all shipping rates, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information. 2DAY shipping refers to shipping time; we still need 2-3 business days to prepare an order. We need to pick and pack, QA, add printed collateral, and palletize the orders.

3. Please track your package using the tracking service.

4. The carrier will attempt delivery a maximum of 3 times. After 3 delivery attempts, your package will be sent back to our warehouse.**

*Please ensure your email address is correct; otherwise, you will not receive the order and shipping confirmation emails.

**If delivery is attempted 3 times without success, or if you fail to retrieve your package from the carrier depot by the stated deadline, the shipping fee will not be refunded to the customer.

Returns Policy

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, please contact us at (424) 414-2040 or via e-mail at hello@primalwine.com between 9 am and 5 pm Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Sunday, we would like to understand and try to solve your concerns. We can offer refunds only as store credit.

Producer profile

Brij Wines

Raj Parr, sommelier, author, winemaker and partner at Domaine de la Côte and Sandhi in California and Evening Land in Oregon, set out to farm in 2020, trading a partially nomadic lifestyle of traveling, consulting, and wine educating for a more rooted mode of living in Cambria, a town of rocky cliffs, pine forests, and cool climates on California's Central Coast. He had been drawn north from Santa Barbara by a few acres of vines nestled between the mountains and the Pacific: Phelan Farm, whose roots stretch back to the 1850s when the Phelan family founded a homestead on Steiner Creek. Brij, named after Raj's father, is the negociant label of Parr Wines which is inspired by the farming of friends and colleagues throughout California.

Raj and his team bottle wines under the Brij label from purchased fruit from organic vineyards in the area on the San Luis Obispo coast from friends and neighbors who farm organically. The vines at Phelan Farm are farmed regeneratively, with close attention to the larger ecosystem and an emphasis on the interconnection between the vineyard and uncultivated nature.

Winemaking is as simple as possible, with all wines fermented using natural yeasts and moved by gravity to older oak barrels of various sizes without additives except a tiny amount of sulfur if needed; bottling, corking, and labeling is done by hand, with production of a little less than 1,000 cases.

Wine region

California, USA

The San Luis Obispo Coast is the newest American Viticultural Area, awarded on 9 March 2022 by the US Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, establishing a 97 kilometer-long strip along California that locals call SLO Coast. The AVA comprises 165,348ha along the coastal benchlands, hillsides, and valleys between the Pacific and the western slope of the Santa Lucia Mountains, is at most 24 kilometers wide, and its soils range from marine to volcanic. The area has an overall cool, maritime climate, with growing degree day accumulation of 2,493 placing it as Region I on the Winkler Scale, and fog cover is often present at night and in the morning during the growing season.

The AVA overlaps the previously established Edna Valley and Arroyo Grande Valley viticultural areas, contains over 50 wineries and an estimated 78 commercial vineyards cultivating approximately 3,942 acres, and cool weather varietals like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are commonly grown while Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, and Grüner Veltliner also thrive. Chardonnay accounts for 43% and Pinot Noir for 35% of plantings, followed by smaller plantings of Syrah, Sauvignon Blanc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
