Wente Vineyards
Корените на Wente винаги са били здраво стъпили в семейството на трудолюбиви фермери. През 1883 г. Карл Х. Венте, германски имигрант, купува 48 акра лозя в долината Ливърмор, Калифорния, и започва да строи винарна. През 1912 г. Ърнест Уенте, второ поколение, убеждава своя баща и основател Карл Х. Уенте да внесе в долината Ливърмор резници Шардоне от известния лозов разсадник F. Richter Nursery в Монпелие, Франция. Ърнест подбира ръчно лозите, които показват най-добро здраве и изразени вкусови качества, присажда ги заедно и разпространява тези характеристики напред. Резултатът е наречен сполучливо "Клон Венте", който днес представлява над 75% от всички насаждения Шардоне в Калифорния! Днес Wente Vineyards е най-дългогодишната семейна винарна в Съединените щати, която се управлява непрекъснато. Карл Д. Уенте, пето поколение лозар, продължава да развива Клона Уенте чрез семейното наследство на Шардоне с четири различни стила: Шардоне Morning Fog, Шардоне Riva Ranch, Шардоне Small Lot Eric's и Шардоне Nth Degree. Непрекъснато се стремим към съвършенство във винопроизводството, като съчетаваме традиционни и новаторски винарски практики и притежаваме истинска любов към пътуването.

California is the largest and most important wine region in the United States. It extends to an impressive ten degrees latitude, which inevitably offers a variety of climatic and microclimatic conditions. And when you add the relief diversity - mountains, valleys, plains and plateaus, it becomes clear that there is a truly amazing selection of terroirs. The country's viticultural history dates back to the 18th century, when settlers and missionaries made their way to the west coast. However, California wines have only gained worldwide fame in the last few decades - and especially after the Paris verdict of 1976, when in a blind tasting, Californian representatives in both white and red wines won without appeal to the French. Today, California hosts some of the world's largest wine companies, as well as some boutique wineries with cult and expensive wines, the subject of connoisseurs and collectors. The main varieties grown in California are Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, but recently Pinot Noir, Merlot and Syrah wines have also been successful. Perhaps the most distinctive and terroir variety in California (and in the United States as a whole) is Zinfandel (Primitivo in Italy), which has found wonderful conditions for development here. The cooler and northern regions, closer to the Atlantic coast (Sonoma), are more suitable for cooling Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, while inland - Napa - is home to the most famous red wines in California based on Cabernet Sauvignon.

This is probably the most famous red wine grape variety on Earth - a natural crossing between Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc. From its origins in Bordeaux, this vine has successfully spread to almost every wine growing country in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon wines always demonstrate a handful of common character traits: deep color, excellent tannic structure and aromas of black berries and spices.
