Don Miguel Vineyard Sonoma County Green Valley Marimar Torres Estate 1992

The 1992 Marimar Torres Estate Chardonnay originates from the Don Miguel Vineyard, located in the Sonoma County Green Valley of California. This vineyard was established as a family project dedicated to Miguel Torres, the father of proprietor Marimar Torres. Situated in the hills of western Sonoma County, the site was specifically selected for its cool Pacific Ocean breezes and its hillsides of light, well-drained soils that slope gently to the southeast.California is the most prominent wine-producing state in the United States, responsible for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The state's wine landscape stretches over 1,300 kilometers along the Pacific coast and encompasses 149 officially recognized American Viticultural Areas. The climate in these coastal regions is heavily influenced by cool ocean winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which create significant diurnal temperature shifts and allow for an extended ripening period. The soils across the state are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate.This white wine is crafted entirely from Chardonnay, one of the world's most recognized white grape varieties, frequently cultivated in prominent regions such as Burgundy, Champagne, California, and Oregon. The Don Miguel Vineyard provides an ideal environment for this variety. From the initial planting to the final bottling, the estate applies viticultural and winemaking techniques learned in Burgundy, which have been utilized across the Torres family's vineyards in Spain. The resulting wine reflects a uniquely Californian expression while drawing on three centuries and multiple generations of the Torres family's winemaking expertise. The wine is bottled at 14 percent alcohol by volume.

About the region

California is the United States' most important wine-producing state, accounting for over 80 percent of the country's total wine production. The area extends more than 1,300 kilometres along the Pacific coast from Mendocino in the north to San Diego in the south and contains 149 officially recognised AVAs spread across four main regions: North Coast (Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino), Central Coast (Monterey, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara), Central Valley (Lodi, Madera) and South Coast.

The climate is dominated by cool sea winds and morning fog from the Pacific, which give marked diurnal temperature swings and extended ripening. The soils are highly varied, ranging from volcanic and alluvial types to limestone and slate. The main varieties include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc. The style ranges widely from slender, acid-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from cool coastal AVAs to full-bodied, fruit-driven Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel from warmer inland regions. The area is known as one of the world's most diverse and quality-focused wine landscapes.

Buy with confidence

Super service and very helpful. Lost one of the bottles during transport and reported it to Bottles With History. It was fixed immediately and a new bottle was sent immediately. (Actually a better wine in my opinion) It is very difficult to guarantee that older bottles are drinkable, like the Barolo from 69 I tried. Anders came to the rescue again and of course sent a new bottle of the same caliber. Thank you very much for the good service, can definitely recommend shopping here in safe hands.
