✨ Tekniske specifikationer
The TOR Heritage Clones Cabernet Sauvignon is a masterclass in Napa Valley's viticultural history, celebrating the legendary selections of Cabernet Sauvignon that have defined the region's greatness. Winemaker Tor Kenward has spent decades championing these specific heritage selections—such as Clone 4, Clone 6, and the coveted See Clone—which are prized for their small berry size, low yields, and intense concentration. Sourced from some of Napa Valley's most prestigious, gravelly alluvial fan vineyards, this wine is crafted with minimal intervention, utilizing native yeast fermentations and aging in prime French oak cooperage. The result is a profound expression of Napa terroir, weaving together rich dark fruits, crushed rock minerality, and the structural elegance that only historic heritage clones can deliver.
🍾 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.
