WINE DESCRIPTION

Terre Rouge Tête-à-Tête is a premium red wine produced by Terre Rouge winery, known for its exceptional quality and unique character. The wine is made from grapes grown in the Sierra Foothills appellation, which is known for its diverse soils and microclimates that create a perfect environment for growing high-quality grapes. The vineyard features steep slopes, rocky soils, and a cool climate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in a wine with intense flavors and aromas. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, gentle pressing, and aging in French oak barrels, which adds complexity and depth to the wine. The style of the wine is elegant and refined, with a rich and velvety texture, and a long, smooth finish.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Terre Rouge Tête-à-Tête is a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah.It is a light-bodied, medium-acidic red wine with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and hints of earthy herbs. On the palate, the wine is smooth, with ripe red berry flavors, baking spices, and a hint of minerality. The finish is long and balanced with lingering notes of blackberry and cedar. Overall, this is an easy-drinking and enjoyable red blend.

ORIGINS

Winery: Terre Rouge

Region: Sierra Foothills

The Sierra Foothills wine region is located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California, USA. The discovery of gold near Sutter Mill in 1848 led to the California Gold Rush, resulting in many settlers from Southern Europe who established vineyards to supply them with wine. By the 1860s, the Sierra Foothills wine industry was booming before the depression and Prohibition reduced the industry to just a few vineyards.
