Le Pich, the sister label of Purlieu, derives its name from the Wappo Indian term meaning “golden eagle.” These majestic birds of prey are known for their hunting prowess and can often be seen soaring, gliding, circling, and arcing above our vineyards.
The choice of the name Le Pich holds significance as it embodies the spirit of these magnificent creatures and the connection they have with our vineyards. Just as the golden eagle hunts with precision and grace, we strive to craft wines that exhibit the same level of excellence and finesse.
The mention of Wappo Indians adds a touch of cultural heritage to our label, acknowledging the rich history and indigenous people who once inhabited the land where our vineyards now thrive. It serves as a tribute to their presence and the natural harmony that exists between the land, the wildlife, and the wines we produce.
Observing the golden eagles above our vineyards is a truly awe-inspiring experience. Their presence evokes a sense of wonder and reminds us of the beauty and harmony that can be found in nature. It is a testament to the balance and environmental stewardship we strive to achieve in our winemaking practices.
