✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Beringer, established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick Beringer, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and enduring wineries. In crafting the Clear Lake Zinfandel, Beringer looks just north of Napa to the rugged, high-elevation volcanic soils of Lake County. The Clear Lake AVA is defined by its massive natural freshwater lake, which exerts a cooling influence over the surrounding vineyards, tempering the intense California sun. This unique microclimate allows Zinfandel grapes to ripen slowly, developing concentrated flavors of dark blackberry, wild plum, and characteristic cracked black pepper while retaining a vibrant, refreshing acidity. Traditionally aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels, this wine represents Beringer's historic commitment to exploring California's diverse terroirs, delivering a robust yet balanced expression of mountain-grown Zinfandel.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Beringer Vineyards blev grundlagt i 1876 af brødrene Jacob og Frederick Beringer og er i dag Californiens ældste kontinuerligt fungerende vinhus, beliggende i hjertet af St. Helena i Napa Valley. Som pionerer inden for tidlig vinproduktion i Napa udhuggede Beringer-brødrene kalkstensgrotter med håndkraft og etablerede kældre baseret på tyngdekraftsprincippet for at skabe raffinerede og lagringsværdige vine. I dag ejes det historiske vinhus af Treasury Wine Estates og viderefører en kompromisløs dedikation til terroirdrevet vindyrkning på tværs af de bedste parceller i Napa Valley og Knights Valley. Beringer nyder international anerkendelse for sine ikoniske Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon og Chardonnay, suppleret af komplekse enkeltmarksudgaver samt botrytiserede dessertvine som Nightingale.
