Vinification of the Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon Livermore Valley by Wente Vineyards

The grapes for the Charles Wetmore Cabernet Sauvignon Livermore Valley come from the sunny vineyards of Livermore Valley, one of California's oldest wine-growing regions. The soils are rich in nutrients, ensuring excellent grape quality. The grapes are carefully hand-picked to select only the best specimens.

After harvesting, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which allow for the optimal preservation of the fruitiness and aromatic properties of the grapes. After fermentation, the wine matures for 18 months in French oak barrels, which round out the flavor and add a pleasant complexity. This vinification technique also gives the wine a hint of roasted notes, imparting extraordinary depth.
