California Wines

90% of the wine produced in the U.S.A. comes from the state of California. Its climate is unique, consistently better than those Old World regions it still strives to emulate, but much less naturally arid than many of its New World competitors. That is why the ‘New World’ style of maximising upfront fruit can be said to have originated here. Robert Mondavi in the 1960s and 1970s created the trend for Californian Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon then taken on by the huge names such as Gallo, Blossom Hill and Constellation as well as lots of small ‘boutique’ vineyards. There is plenty of good news from this area which is now the fourth largest wine producer in the world. Recent years have seen a surplus of supply of red and white juice which has helped with prices given the weakness of sterling against the dollar.

This is another new exclusive range we have introduced so that customers can have an entry level choice of California’s three most popular varietals as opposed to major brand names found in supermarkets and other off-trade outlets. The wines have all been excellently made and offer great value.

ROUND HILL VINEYARDS
Round Hill is another of those wineries selected by our wine team for their quality, value and suitability for our On-Trade customers rather than for their off-trade reputation in the supermarkets. The wine making team is highly rated and is further recognised by Round Hill’s winning the Napa Valley award for Best Quality and Value for Money for three years running. Round Hill have also won many other accolades including the Winery of the Year from the International Wine Review.
