Petrichor Vineyards

On first learning its meaning, we were transported to those dry, dusty days in summer that are often interrupted by afternoon showers. Scampering for shelter with thunder rumbling overhead, we would pause as this incredible scent arose from the earth. But we never knew what to call that magic fragrance until our dear friend and artist, Stephanie Gardner, painted a series affixed with the name, Petrichor. She passed the treasured word to us, cleverly coined by two Australian geologists in the 60’s.
