Don J. Huffman is the winemaker at Rockville Cellars, a boutique winery in the Suisun Valley. Sir Pig, the most popular wine by Rockville Cellars, is an acidic wine with a beautiful nose and compelling flavor profile.
The real story behind SirPig from Rockville Cellars. We wanted a dry, acidic wine with a beautiful nose and compelling flavor profile. This blend of Grenache and Counoise with just a touch of Tempranillo does the trick. Bring on the summer breeze and solo cups.
What is that floating in the wine? Treasure we call it. This is an intentionally coarse-filtered Rosé to protect the phenolic characteristics found in the delicate Counoise grape. The floating particles come from the fermentation process and are perfectly harmless and natural.
What’s in a name? In the early days, winemaker Don J. Huffman raised pigs for 4H right here in Solano County. He was affectionately called “Piggy.” His response was always “SirPig to you!” This wine is a tribute to the feeling you get when drinking a wonderfully light and refreshing wine, you can feel like royalty even until you finish a glass of wine. Please enjoy this wine with a smile.
