| About
Trefethen Family Vineyards:
One Family, One
Estate, One Passion . . . for Forty Years
Forty years ago, inspired by the belief that
great wines come from great vineyards, the
Trefethen family purchased seven farms
surrounding a magnificent, but run-down, 19th
century winery in the Oak Knoll District of Napa
Valley. At that time there were fewer than 30
working wineries in the Valley. Ever since, the
family has been committed to handcrafting wines
exclusively from its own, estate-grown grapes.
Trefethen Family Vineyards lavishes
extraordinary care on its sustainably farmed
vineyards, producing grapes with pure, intense
flavors beautifully reflecting the property's
unique terroir. The elegant, harmonious wines of
Trefethen Family Vineyards have long been lauded
by wine critics. In 1979 the Estate Chardonnay
was chosen "Best Chardonnay" in the World at the
World Wine Olympics in Paris, and again at the
rematch. In 2007, Decanter Magazine-the most
highly respected wine journal in the United
Kingdom-named the 2002 Trefethen Reserve
Cabernet Sauvignon as the Best Red Bordeaux
Varietal wine from North America. |
