Terra d'Oro Winery / Montevina Winery

2011 Pinot Grigio

at montevina winery, we come from a long line of pioneers, so it’s no surprise that we produced our first pinot grigio long before this classic italian varietal became trendy. with aromatics of ripe pear, summer peach and lotus blossom, our vibrant pinot grigio offers refreshing flavors of juicy bartlett pears and citrus with subtle traces of nutmeg and spice. well-balanced and approachable, this wine is the ultimate palate-pleaser.

2008 Zinfandel

since the gold rush, amador county winemakers have been mining the rich, robust characteristics of zinfandel, california’s heritage grape. at montevina, our zin happily embraces its wild-at-heart legacy. it’s fruit-forward and sassy, with irresistible cassis and pepper aromas, and lush blackberry, ripe plum and spice flavors followed by a long, smooth finish. if you’re looking for a rollicking good time on the palate, this zinfandel is for you.

2011 Sauvignon Blanc

at montevina winery, we believe in letting the beautiful, bare flavors and characteristics of our sauvignon blanc grapes shine through. this minimalist approach results in a classically-styled wine with clean, citrusy and crisp flavors on the palate. with aromas of fresh-cut grass and citrus zest, and ripe fig and cool melon flavors balanced by racy acidity, our sauvignon blanc is a natural for both casual get-togethers and swanky affairs.

2009 Barbera

montevina barbera is delightfully honest and down-to-earth, with rich, concentrated flavors. widely planted during the gold rush by italian immigrants, this classic varietal offers luscious fruit flavors and happy acidity making it an extremely versatile, food-friendly wine. discover our barbera’s tempting black cherry and toffee aromas, and ripe, blackberry and pomegranate flavors with hints of toasty graham cracker.
