✨ Tekniske specifikationer

TOR Kenward's Chardonnay program is fueled by a lifelong passion for the great white wines of Burgundy, translated through the lens of Northern California's finest cool-climate terroirs. Sourcing from legendary, wind-swept sites in Carneros and the Sonoma Valley—such as the Hyde, Durell, and Beresini vineyards—TOR crafts Chardonnays of remarkable depth and precision. The winemaking philosophy is deeply traditional: grapes are whole-cluster pressed, fermented with native yeasts in French oak barrels, and subjected to weekly battonage (lees stirring) to build a rich, luscious texture. To preserve the pure expression of the vineyard and the natural vibrancy of the fruit, the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered, yielding a style that beautifully balances opulent California fruit with a classic, mineral-driven structure.

🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten

TOR Wines er et eksklusivt vinhus i St. Helena i Californien, grundlagt i 2001 af Napa Valley-veteranen Tor Kenward og hans hustru Susan. Med udgangspunkt i Kenwards næsten tre årtiers ledelseserfaring i tæt samarbejde med legendariske vinbønder og winemakere hos Beringer Vineyards, har vinhuset dedikeret sig til enkeltmarksvine i stærkt begrænsede mængder fra de ypperste parceller i Napa Valley. TOR har særligt fokus på historiske terroirs af grand cru-kaliber, herunder især Beckstoffer To Kalon, Beckstoffer Dr. Crane og Cimarossa Vineyard. Vinifikationen følger en minimalistisk filosofi med maksimal fokus på markernes autentiske særpræg, og huset nyder international anerkendelse for sine kraftfulde, gemmeværdige Cabernet Sauvignon-vine, raffinerede Chardonnayer og sjældne, udtryksfulde Syrah-aftapninger.
