✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Scheid Vineyards' 'Arbolitos' is a proprietary red blend that captures the diverse terroir of California's Monterey County. The name 'Arbolitos,' meaning 'little trees' in Spanish, pays tribute to the scenic oak-studded hillsides that frame the Salinas Valley. In this unique microclimate, cold winds from the deep Monterey Bay sweep through the valley, creating a dramatic temperature gradient. While the north is cool, the southern estate vineyards receive ample warmth to fully ripen robust red grape varieties. Scheid's winemaking team crafts this blend to emphasize rich, dark fruit flavors, structured tannins, and the signature bright acidity imparted by the region's cool nights. The wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels to add complexity, yielding a smooth, approachable red that reflects the family's commitment to sustainable wind-powered estate farming.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Scheid Vineyards blev grundlagt i 1972 af Al Scheid og er en pionervirksomhed beliggende i hjertet af Salinas Valley i Californiens Monterey County. Gennem fem årtier har den familieejede vingård udvidet sit virke til tolv unikke vinmarker, hvor man udnytter den markante, kølende havbrise fra Monterey Bay til at dyrke en bred vifte af druesorter. Vingården er dybt engageret i bæredygtighed, drives udelukkende af vedvarende vindenergi og arbejder efter strenge, certificerede bæredygtige principper. Scheid Vineyards er anerkendt for sin alsidige portefølje af levende hvid-, rød- og rosévine og fremstiller både roste enkeltdruevine på eksempelvis Cabernet Sauvignon, Albariño og Barbera samt håndværksmæssige cuvéer som deres Claret Reserve.
