CHW Confidential
Located in the rolling hills at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains at 1500-3000 above sea level, the Sierra Foothills AVA has a history of viticulture dating back to the Gold Rush era of the 1840s. It’s home to about 100 wineries (mostly boutique and family-owned), almost all of which are too small to be picked up by national distributors. This is where our reach and access really shines!
Lot 765 comes to us from a winery located high in the El Dorado sub-region of the Sierra Foothills, right in the heart of California Gold country. Produced from 45+ year old estate vineyards planted at 3000ft, the wine was crafted by a winemaker who has tended these vines for over 30 years, and spent a year in oak before bottling. Showing plenty of backbone and mountain terroir, it’s now ready to impress at your table. This is the very definition of a California hidden gem.
