Sandlands is the passion project of Olivia and Tegan Passalacqua, the winemaker at Turley vineyards.

While they make syrah and chardonnay, they also focus on ol-vine grape varieties that remain outliers in California viticulture, like mataro, chenin blanc, and trousseau. These vines have often existed for generations, are dry-farmed, and have naturally low yields.

Sandlands combines textural richness and energy to make wines of distinct character.
