Nestled in the western foothills of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range sits Amador County, home to more than 2,700 acres of wine grapes. The elevation in the area ranges from 1,200 to 2,000 feet above sea level and the region sees between 36-38 inches of annual rainfall. This allows most growers in the area the opportunity to dry-farm their vineyards, which is important because it contributes to low crow yields—this is essential to producing full-bodied wines. The climate is similar to that of Calistoga, in Napa Valley; however, it cools down a bit more which helps to retain the much needed acidity in the grapes. Many of the vineyards in the area are head trained and are quite old. Some reaching the century mark. Zinfandel is king in the region, and it’s what we do best.
At Montevina, we live wine. We make it, talk about it, read about it, and yes, often drink it. From California, land of the Gold Rush (and destination of those crazy optimists who flocked here to find their fortunes), we’re not only dedicated to creating some of the best Zinfandel around, but we’re also constantly exploring the possibilities and challenging ourselves to craft other terrific varietals. Every day we aspire to surprise, delight and always be the official wine of good company.
Wine growers are farmers — our livelihoods depend on the environment. We spend days in the vineyards and evenings enjoying the fruits of our labor with our families. Our commitment to sustainable agriculture is personal and all of our estate grown grapes are sustainably farmed.
