The wine region of Amador County
Historic heart of Californian Zinfandel in the Sierra Foothills (Gold Country): signature Zinfandel as king red (old vines >100 years) — powerful and spicy with notes of candied blackberry, plum, raspberry, black cherry, pepper and a cocoa touch, round tannins and generous alcohols (14-16%). Rhône grapes (Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, Viognier) as sunny backup, Italian (Sangiovese, Barbera). Hot high-altitude climate (300-600 m), decomposed granitic soils.
The wine region of California
Powerful, sunny reds: dense Napa Cabernet Sauvignon (blackcurrant, chocolate, tobacco, ample tannins), spicy, jammy Zinfandel from the Sierra Foothills, silky red-fruited Pinot Noir on the cool coast (Sonoma, Russian River, Central Coast). Opulent, buttery Chardonnay, notes of yellow fruit and vanilla. Varied climate, from the hot interior to the Pacific-cooled coast. 80% of US production, 139 AVAs including Napa (1st AVA, 1981).
The word of the wine: Vinification of sweet wines
Moelleux and liquoreux wines are characterized by the presence of residual sugars (natural sugar of the grape), not transformed into alcohol under the effect of yeasts. The fermentation is stopped by cold and by the addition of sulphur dioxide (sulphur).
