✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Beringer's Hayne Vineyard Petite Sirah is a legendary expression of one of Napa Valley's most historic grape varieties. Located in the warm St. Helena AVA, the Hayne Vineyard is renowned for its ancient, head-trained Petite Sirah vines, which were planted in 1953. These old vines dig deep into the gravelly loam soils, producing tiny, intensely concentrated berries. Beringer, established in 1876 by the Beringer brothers, has long recognized the exceptional quality of this site. The resulting wine is famously ink-dark, offering a monumental structure packed with black fruit, cocoa, and cracked black pepper, softened by meticulous aging in oak barrels. It stands as a testament to Napa's rich viticultural heritage before Cabernet Sauvignon became dominant.
🍾 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.
