Tasting notes

The Verdelho delivers a genuinely unusual combination: flinty, earthy structure alongside pineapple-like tropical flesh, all at 11% ABV and barely any sulfur. The post-disgorgement Cinsault addition is a smart call — it gives the wine a tightening herbal edge that keeps the fruit from going soft.

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

International Popular Wine

Purity Wine was founded by Noel Diaz, who began making wine in 2013 and established his winery operation at 1401 Marina Way South in Richmond's Marina Bay District in 2017. Diaz grew up in Delano in Kern County, where his parents were migrant farmers. He came to the Bay Area for film school and eventually shifted toward winemaking, operating first out of a facility on Treasure Island before relocating to Richmond. The name Purity Wine reflects Diaz's stated philosophy of minimal intervention: letting the grape express itself without manipulation.

Purity Wine operates as a collective winery space that hosts multiple natural winemakers working under one roof. International Popular Wine is one of the labels produced within this shared facility. Diaz sources grapes from organic or biodynamic California growers and applies native yeast fermentation across all wines. His wines are left unfiltered and he rarely uses sulfur, with no added SO2 across most of his lineup. Diaz also describes his farming approach as regenerative — emphasizing biodiversity, no-till practices, and ecosystem health beyond standard organic protocols.

For this pet-nat, Verdelho from Contra Costa County was harvested in early August 2020, pressed the following day, and fermented with native yeasts. The wine went through a reductive phase before stabilizing into its current profile. It was bottled before fermentation completed to capture natural CO2, then disgorged and finished with a small addition of Cinsault to add tension to the blend. No sulfur was added at any stage; the label notes only naturally occurring sulfites.

Wine region

Contra Costa County, USA

Contra Costa County sits directly east of San Francisco Bay in Northern California, within the San Francisco Bay AVA and the broader Central Coast AVA. The Contra Costa AVA was formally established in 2024, though the region has a viticultural history dating to 1846. Most vineyards are concentrated in the eastern part of the county around the towns of Oakley and Brentwood, at elevations mostly below 100 feet on relatively flat terrain near the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.

The defining feature of Contra Costa terroir is its deep Delhi sandy loam soil — an ancient alluvial sand bar formed at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. These free-draining sands allowed vines to survive the phylloxera epidemic since the root louse cannot survive in pure sand, leaving many plantings own-rooted and dry-farmed. The climate runs hot during the day, but afternoon winds off San Francisco and Suisun bays push temperatures down sharply at night, extending the growing season and retaining acidity. The region's most-planted varieties are Zinfandel, Mourvèdre, and Carignan, with Verdelho representing a small but growing share of white plantings.
