Caliveda wine is sourced from the beautiful vineyards of California, specifically from the state's historic inland and coastal AVAs (American Viticultural Areas). These AVAs are known for their diverse microclimates and soil types, which contribute to the unique characteristics and flavors of the grapes grown there. As an expert sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of exploring and tasting wines from various regions, but California holds a special place in my heart.
The inland AVAs of California, such as Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, and Paso Robles, are renowned for their warm climate and rich, fertile soil. These regions are ideal for growing grape varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel. The warm days and cool nights in these areas allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in wines with concentrated flavors and balanced acidity. I remember visiting Napa Valley a few years ago and being captivated by the picturesque vineyards and the passion of the winemakers. The wines I tasted were bold and full-bodied, showcasing the unique terroir of the region.
On the other hand, the coastal AVAs of California, such as Santa Barbara County, Monterey County, and Sonoma Coast, are influenced by the cool breezes and fog from the Pacific Ocean. These regions are perfect for growing grape varieties like Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. The cool climate and well-drained soils in these areas result in wines with vibrant acidity and elegant flavors. I have fond memories of visiting Sonoma Coast and being amazed by the breathtaking views of the vineyards overlooking the ocean. The Pinot Noir I tasted there was delicate and nuanced, with notes of red fruits and earthiness.
Caliveda wine is a true representation of the diverse and dynamic wine regions of California. The grapes are carefully selected from vineyards in both the inland and coastal AVAs to create a harmonious blend that showcases the best of both worlds. The winemakers behind Caliveda understand the importance of terroir and strive to capture the essence of California in every bottle.
