About Delta Breeze Winery
“In wine, there's truth.”
― Pliny the Elder, Natural History
C alifornia wine is unique. In most of the world’s major appellations, a region offers one, or even a few types or style of wine. Many areas allow only one, or perhaps a couple of different grape varietals.
That is not the case with California wine. While many wine consumers and critics posit that the best wines produced in the Golden State are made today, wine making in California has a much longer history than most people are aware of.
It can easily be argued that California wine comes from the most interesting soils and terroirs for wine lovers, wine makers and wine growers alike. Those soils and terroir have propelled the popularity of California wine so much that close to 90% of all wine in America comes from California.
This is a good thing for the residents of California who consume close to 20% of the annual production from their home state. While Napa Valley is the most famous wine producing region in America, as far as the amount of wine coming out of the valley, only 4% of all California wine comes from Napa. As you can see, this is really a treasured region.
California wine producers offers more diversity of not only styles of wine, but the grapes that are planted in the Golden State. All the noble varieties are planted: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Riesling.
But the list of noble grapes doesn’t even begin to describe the wide variety of vines planted in California. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Grenache, Mourvedre, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Roussanne, Marsanne, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese are also cultivated in vineyards across California as well. California also lends itself to make sweet wine from grapes attacked by botrytis, sparkling wines in a Champagne style, or even fortified wines.
This is the tradition and the history of our wines at Delta Breeze Winery. And Although we are recent producers we grew up in this region. And we learned form this region. So that we can boast of a rich history in wine making and greape cultivation.
So it is with this said that we entreat all of you to come and taste our excellent California made wines. We offer 4 different types of wines: our great tasting ZINFANDEL, our full bodied VIOGNIER, our ever popular CABERNET SAUVIGNON and our delicious CHARDONNAY.
