FINE WINES - Handcrafted, Delicious and Authentic.

Nove Vineyards is located on a southwest-facing, sun flooded hillside not far from the Konocti Volcano in Lake County. It boasts desirable deep red volcanic and well-drained loamy Sobrante soils. At a lofty elevation of 1,400 feet, this prime mountain site possesses all the key ingredients for growing premium wine grapes with beautifully intense aromas and flavors. Having evolved geologically over thousands of years, our virgin soils possess a rich mineral complexity, which lends freshness and depth to our estate-grown wines.

Along with other unique site characteristics, this creates a distinctive terroir, a French term describing the interaction of soil, sun exposure, air flow, elevation and slope that constitutes a vineyard's singular character. The special terroir is expressed in the bright aromas, deep, rich flavors and pleasing texture that mark Nove fine wines, artfully crafted from two classic grape varieties: Grenache, originating in the famed Southern Rhône Valley region of France, and Malbec from the Cahors district of southwestern France. Both varieties are ideally suited to the growing conditions in the Lake County estate vineyard. The exceptional wines crafted from them - in very limited quantities - are made to be enjoyed with good food and friends and will age well for many years in your cellar.

The winning bidder receives a case of Nove Vineyards 2019 Grenache Rosé. This beautifully balanced dry wine displays a classic pale copper hue (described by the French as 'Oeil de Pedrix' - Eye of the Partridge), vibrant aromas of melon and guava, a refreshingly crisp texture, deliciously fruity flavors, and a smooth finish. Bright, balanced acidity makes this Grenache Rosé an ideal summer sipping wine, a delicious aperitif and a versatile accompaniment to food. NoveVineyards.com
