Paix Sur Terre

Paix Sur Terre, or “Peace on Earth,” began as the dream of Ryan and his wife, Nicole. They set out to create a portfolio of truly mineral-driven Mourvèdres along with small lots of Grenache, Syrah, and Mediterranean-style white wines known for their vibrant acidity and beautiful minerality.

As Paix Sur Terre has grown and more people have come to love both the wines and the family behind them, Ryan now devotes his time entirely to the winery. Ryan and Nicole’s two young daughters are also becoming part of the story, often helping in the cellar and greeting guests in the tasting room.

We work with four exceptional westside Paso Robles vineyards, each selected for its distinct character and sense of place. Fruit is harvested with freshness in mind to highlight a balance of mouthwatering, savory, and mineral qualities. Ryan uses minimal oak, plenty of whole cluster, and a thoughtful, restrained approach in the cellar to craft site-specific wines that allow each vineyard to speak for itself.
