About: Derived from the word, “cairn” which means “a heap of stones piled up as a memorial or as a landmark.” Our founder, Andy Neja, chose this name as a tribute to his family’s farming legacy and as a nod to the limestone-rich terrain of West Paso, where our vineyards are located.
It requires hard work and dedication to make wine, and at Cairjn, we have a deep respect for the men and women who work tirelessly to bring each vintage to fruition. That’s why we honor their efforts by staying true to our commitment to quality and sustainability.
Now producing 800 cases annually, our portfolio of wines reflects our commitment to quality and sustainability. Our dream is to provide our customers with a truly unique wine experience. Join us on this journey as we build a landmark wine for Paso Robles.
What is your favorite forgotten grape? Albariño
What was your first experience with a forgotten grape? I tasted Albariño early on in my wine journey and I fell in love with its freshness and wonderful floral and citrus characters.
What do you love most about the forgotten grapes? Their uniqueness and pouring them for people that have never heard of them and watching their enjoyment of this new variety.
