Hand-selected grapes from our prestigious Amador vineyards comprise the Terra d’Oro County Zinfandel, the winery’s flagship wine. With 94% of the grapes sourced from our own estate vineyards, shallow top soils, granite hardpan, hot summer days and cool summer nights make a remarkable home for the winemaker’s favorite varietal. Head trained and spur-pruned, the Terra d’Oro vineyards receive optimal sunlight and deliver a controlled crop.

At Terra d’Oro, the Zinfandel grapes are carefully picked at night and brought to the winery for processing. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged in a combination of French and American oak (20% new) for 13 months resulting in subtle caramel notes with indications of exotic spice
