✨ Tekniske specifikationer

The Spotlight Collection Harvest of Joy originates from the legendary To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, Napa Valley, a site widely regarded as one of the finest Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards in the world. First planted in 1868 by pioneer H.W. Crabb, who named it 'To Kalon'—Greek for 'the highest beauty'—this historic terroir became the cornerstone of Robert Mondavi's vision when he established his winery in 1966. This bottling celebrates the vibrant spirit of the harvest from these ancient, gravelly soils. Typically a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, the wine is crafted using traditional Bordeaux-style vinification and aged in premium French oak barrels. It showcases the classic Oakville signature of opulent black currant, dark plum, and complex notes of graphite, cocoa, and sweet spice, framed by powerful yet remarkably supple tannins.

🍾 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.
