Vinted and bottled in Sonoma, the Proprietor's Reserve line was established with a history of recognition, tracing back to the winery's first vintage which received the Sweepstakes Award at the Harvest Fair. Following this initial success, Glen Ellen's wines have frequently been entered into international competitions, earning numerous medals worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis release is crafted from Merlot, a classic dark grape variety. While it is a prominent fixture in Californian viticulture, the grape is also widely cultivated in other major wine-producing areas such as Bordeaux, Washington, and Northern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from California, the most significant wine-producing state in the United States, responsible for over 80 percent of the country's total wine output. The Californian wine landscape stretches more than 1,300 kilometers along the Pacific coast, from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south, encompassing 149 officially recognized American Viticultural Areas across four main regions. The local climate is heavily influenced by cool ocean breezes and morning fog rolling in from the Pacific, creating significant diurnal temperature shifts that allow for an extended ripening period. Rooted in highly diverse soils ranging from volcanic and alluvial deposits to limestone and slate, California is globally recognized as a remarkably diverse and quality-oriented wine landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glen Ellen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57079024550214,"sku":null,"price":94.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-576_4842789b-da3d-4a53-a89b-509eab4ea1e9.jpg?v=1786010469","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.com\/products\/merlot-glen-ellen-1991","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
