✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted by the historic Beringer Vineyards, one of Napa Valley's oldest continuously operating wineries established in 1876, the Quarry Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to hillside viticulture. Located on the steep, eastern slopes of the Rutherford AVA along the Vaca Range, the vineyard gets its name from the rocky, gravelly soils of an old quarry site. This challenging, well-drained volcanic terroir forces the vines to struggle, producing small, concentrated berries. The resulting wine is a classic, powerful Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, typically aged in French oak barrels, showcasing rich dark fruit, structured tannins, and the distinctive gravelly minerality often referred to as Rutherford dust.
🍾 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.
