✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Beringer, established in 1876 by brothers Jacob and Frederick, stands as one of Napa Valley's most historic and enduring winemaking icons. The 'Third Century' label pays tribute to this remarkable legacy, celebrating the winery's transition into its third century of crafting exceptional wines. This Cabernet Franc showcases the grape's expressive California character, where the state's abundant sunshine coexists with cooling maritime breezes. Typically featuring a blend dominated by Cabernet Franc, the wine undergoes traditional fermentation and aging in oak barrels to soften its structure. It reveals a classic profile of ripe red berries, dark plum, and the varietal's signature hints of dried herbs, sweet tobacco, and subtle baking spice, presenting a harmonious balance of fruit and refined tannins.
🍾 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.
