✨ Tekniske specifikationer

Robert Mondavi, a visionary who revolutionized the American wine industry, established his namesake winery in 1966 with the goal of creating Napa Valley wines that could stand company with the finest in the world. The Robert Mondavi Winery Merlot represents this pioneering spirit, showcasing the rich, velvety potential of the varietal in California's premier growing regions. Sourced primarily from the clay-loam soils of Napa Valley, including the famed Oakville district, this wine benefits from warm sunny days tempered by cool evening breezes and morning fog. The blend typically incorporates small percentages of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc to enhance structure and aromatic complexity. Traditionally aged in French oak barrels, the wine develops a harmonious balance of lush black cherry, plum, and subtle herbal notes, framed by soft, supple tannins that define the classic Mondavi style.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

Den visionære vinmager Robert Mondavi grundlagde Robert Mondavi Winery i Oakville i 1966 med en klar ambition: at skabe vine i Napa Valley, som kunne måle sig med verdens ypperste vinhuse. Med base i det ikoniske vineri opført i californisk missionsstil, tegnet af arkitekten Cliff May, kom huset til at spille en afgørende rolle i udviklingen af den moderne amerikanske vinindustri – ikke mindst i kraft af arbejdet med den historiske mark To Kalon Vineyard. Mondavi gik forrest i udbredelsen af nyskabende dyrkningsmetoder, temperaturstyret gæring på rustfri ståltanke og modning på franske egetræsfade, ligesom han gjorde tørgæret Sauvignon Blanc berømt under navnet Fumé Blanc. I dag er vinhuset verdenskendt for sine skelsættende Cabernet Sauvignon-vine fra Oakville og Reserve-serien samt for sine strukturerede, elegante Chardonnay-vine og udtryksfulde blends i klassisk Bordeaux-stil.
