More info

Fruit from vineyards in Sonoma offers minerality and complexity while Mendocino fruit gives the wine its colour and fruit forward flavours. Monterey and San Luis Obispo vineyards provides the wine with its bright fruit flavours and well-balanced acidity. Within Santa Barbara, fruit from the cooler, marine-influenced vineyards add crisp, clean minerality and well-balanced acidity while fruit from vineyards located more inland experience morning coastal fog and afternoon winds, adding to the wine’s tropical notes. Blending fruit from these varied growing regions created a balanced, food-friendly wine.

After harvest, fruit from each vineyard is whole cluster pressed to retain delicate fruit flavours before being fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the bright acidity.

Joel Gott

Joel is a fourth-generation California vintner, and wine and food entrepreneur, born in Napa Valley and raised in the Sierra Foothills where his parents started Montevina Winery.

In 1993, Joel and his brother Duncan scraped together the money to purchase Palisades Market in Calistoga, transforming the small market into a retail shop with gourmet prepared foods and fine wines. Running the market gave Joel an education in business and a view of the wine industry that allowed him to spot the need for quality, value wines in the marketplace.

Joel purchased several tons of Amador County Zinfandel from a family friend and grape grower in 1996. He made the wine with the help of his then-girlfriend and winemaker Sarah, whom he married the following year. Praised by the Wine Spectator, the Wine Advocate and the New York Times, Zinfandel helped put Joel Gott Wines on the map, and gave Joel the chance to produce additional varietals.
