Quintessa Red

Quintessa Red Blend is a sophisticated wine that captures the essence of Napa Valley's Rutherford region in California. It is made at Huneeus Vintners LLC. This area is renowned for its diverse terroir, including volcanic, alluvial, and loamy soils. The blend typically includes. grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Carmenere. Quintessa's winemaking process is both meticulous and innovative, combining tradition with modern techniques. The grapes are harvested early in the morning to preserve their freshness. After harvesting, the grapes are sorted and gravity fed into oak, stainless steel, or concrete tanks for fermentation. This careful method helps maintain the fruit's integrity and allows for a gentle extraction of flavors. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is aged separately in French oak barrels for up to two years. This aging process enhances the wine's complexity and depth. After the final blend is created, the wine is bottled and laid down for an additional year before release, ensuring it reaches optimal maturity. Quintessa Red Blend pairs beautifully with various dishes, including grilled steaks, lamb chops, hearty roasts, and aged cheeses.
