WINE DESCRIPTION

DAOU Mayote is a premium wine produced by DAOU Vineyards, a family-owned winery located in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles, California. The wine is made from a blend of grapes sourced from the estate's high-elevation vineyards, which are known for their rocky soils and cool climate. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich and full-bodied red with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones. DAOU Mayote is a perfect choice for wine enthusiasts looking for a premium wine that showcases the unique terroir of Paso Robles.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This DAOU Mayote is a beautifully crafted blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.On the nose, this full-bodied red wine has intense aromas of blackcurrant, cedar and a hint of strawberry. On the palate, this wine is well balanced with a velvety texture and flavors of dark berry, dark plum, and a hint of spice. The finish is long and lingering with a touch of smoke. This is an excellent choice for a special occasion.

ORIGINS

Winery: DAOU

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
