Shale Rock is how we recognize the shale rock driven soils where that are abundant in the Yankowski Vineyard where the fruit for Unlimited Devotion comes from. The soils of the vineyard are very shalow and the vines’ root systems reach shale rock fairly quickly—this stresses the vines. While shale rock does not directly impart flavor, it affects vine physiology and grape concentration, leading to smaler berries with thicker skins and complex flavors. This results in deeper, more lush, concentrated wines with an elegant and unique textured mouthfeel. The symbol is also a sublte nod to the Yankowski family’s original business and trade, construction, by abstractly resembling a brick wall.
