Product description

Primal 100-year-old Grenache 2022 draws from one of California's most remarkable vineyard sites: Cederquist Vineyard in Fresno County. The oldest block, planted in the 1890s, makes this wine a rare expression of heritage viticulture. Winemaker Jack Sporer of Fres.co direct-presses the grapes and ferments them before aging in neutral French oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered at 11.9% alcohol, Primal 100-year-old Grenache 2022 offers a lighter-bodied style that showcases the concentration and complexity only century-old vines can achieve—fresh, savory, and effortlessly drinkable.

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.

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. 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.

Producer profile

Primal Wine Mono

Fresc.co is a natural wine project by Jack Sporer, a Sonoma County-based winemaker. Jack makes wine under his label as well as for other wineries. Jack and I met at the Raw Wine Fair in Los Angeles, in 2021. I stopped by his table, tasted through his wines, and was blown away by how tasty, precise, and quintessentially Californian they were. Jack cut his teeth making wine for big wineries in Sonoma, and you can tell. Collaborating with him was a no-brainer, and I’m grateful he accepted!

Wine region

California, United States

Primal Wine Mono is an exclusive collaboration series produced in partnership with winemakers who share Primal Wine's commitment to minimal intervention and honest farming. The Primal 100-year-old Grenache 2022 is crafted by Jack Sporer of Fres.co, a Sonoma County-based producer specializing in natural wines from California's most distinctive vineyard sites.

Jack Sporer grew up in Sonoma and worked harvests internationally before returning to launch Fres.co in 2019. He also operates Magnolia Wine Services, a custom crush facility that has become a gathering point for natural winemakers in the region. Through this collaborative space, Sporer supports a community of producers dedicated to sustainable farming and low-intervention winemaking.

For this bottling, Sporer sources fruit from Cederquist Vineyard in Fresno County—a site registered with the Historic Vineyard Society. The oldest block was planted in the 1890s, making these among California's most ancient surviving vines. The Cederquist family has stewarded the property since 1904, with subsequent generations expanding plantings in the 1940s. Today, the vineyard remains a family operation spanning four generations.

The winemaking approach respects the fruit's heritage. Grapes are direct-pressed immediately after harvest, fermented with native yeasts, and aged in neutral French oak to preserve varietal character. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration, resulting in a pure expression of old-vine Grenache at a modest 11.9% alcohol.

Fres.co's philosophy centers on highlighting the grower's work. Every bottle features the vineyard source prominently, acknowledging that the wine's quality begins in the field. This transparency reflects the broader ethos of the Primal collaboration wines: honest, site-driven, and made with minimal manipulation.
