加州葡萄酒概述
|
加州大部分葡萄酒是新世界葡萄酒，加州被誉为老世界葡萄酒中最新的。毕竟，加州的酿酒传统要追溯到17世纪末，西班牙传教士把墨西哥的酿酒工艺带到了加州。250年传统酿酒工艺和经验，现代不断创新和改进，辅以理想的种植酿酒葡萄的气候，这一切造就了加州地区的独特葡萄酒产区.
While most include California in the
new world wine category, California could also be regarded as the
newest old world wine country. After all, California winemaking
traditions date back to the late 1700’s, when Spanish missionaries
introduced winemaking to California from Mexico. The combination of
almost 50 years of wine making traditions and experience, our
modern-day drive for innovation and im-provement, and an ideal
climate to grow grapes, makes California one of the best
places on earth to make outstanding wine.
