California Wines
California wine production has a rich viticulture history since 1680 when Spanish Jesuit missionaries planted Vitis vinifera vines native to the Mediterranean region in their established missions to produce wine for religious services. In the 1770s, Spanish missionaries continued the practice under the direction of the Father Junípero Serra planted California’s first vineyard at Mission San Juan Capistrano.
The state produces about ninety percent of the American wine supply and is the fourth largest wine producer among the world’s independent nations. It has more than 1,200 wineries ranging from home-grown and small boutiques to large corporations with international distribution.
Our Pinot Grigio is crisp and refreshing on the palate with notes of lemon, lime and grapefruit. Our Pinot Grigio is typically picked early in the ripening process in order to encourage citrus flavors and acid balance. The grapes are night-harvested in August with an average brix of 21.5. After a gentle crush, the resulting must is immediately pressed and cold fermented in stainless steel until dry.
