An Approach To Relaxation, founded in 2014, is a joint project between Master Sommelier Richard Betts and Carla Rza Betts (formerly of The Spotted Pig, The Breslin and The John Dory Oyster Bar in NYC.) They are both American born, living in Amsterdam and now making wine in Vine Vale, Barossa Valley, Australia. Their Estate Vineyard, The Rza Block, is one of the oldest Grenache vineyards in the world. Long believing that great Grenache is the warm climate analogy of Pinot Noir, they always kept their eyes open for the sandy terroir and cool climate that give the best Grenache that extra something special. Their search came to an end in Vine Vale, where they discovered a 150+ year-old Grenache vineyard, set on sandy soil in one of coolest microclimates in the Barossa Valley. From this tiny vineyard, they make their Sucette Grenache.
