WINE DESCRIPTION

De la Montanya Merlot is a premium wine produced by De la Montanya Winery, a family-owned winery located in the heart of Sonoma County, California. The wine is made from Merlot grapes grown in the winery's estate vineyards. The winemaking process involves hand-picking of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in American oak barrels for ca. 2 years to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a rich and medium-bodied Merlot with well-integrated ripe tannins. It is a perfect choice for those who appreciate Merlot grape variety.

ORIGINS

Winery: De la Montanya

Region: North Coast California

The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines. The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.
