The Vineyard At Stockcross - California Winemaking In The Uk
Introducing California Wine
Introducing California Wine
Now, a large number of people consider California to be in the new world category when it comes to wine making. But that said, many also argue that it should be thought of as the newest old wine country. This is due to the fact that Californias winemaking traditions date back to the late 1700s the time when Spanish preachers introduced the skill of winemaking to California from Mexico.
This combination of nearly 250 years of wine making, experience and knowledge along with modern-day advances and improvement as well as the perfect climate to grow grapes, makes California one of the best places in the world when it comes to making the most exquisite wine.
