Title
Mt. Brow California Winery in Sonora located in Tuolumne County
Description
Our winery, which is family owned and operated, is located in Tuolumne County, California in the foothills of Central Sierra Nevada Mountains. We have a long growing season with warm days, cool nights and dry climate. We believe that these conditions, along with much tender loving care, generates rich, fruity flavors, and excellent color.
Many of the earliest plantings of wine grapes, and indeed, wineries were located in the foothills of California by those of Italian and Spanish and Portuguese heritage because the growing conditions were similar to that of their native southern European lands. Those early wineries were shut down and many of the vineyards were pulled out during the Prohibition era. Following Prohibition, the money to restart was not in the foothills but in the cities. The investments were made largely by wealthy San Francisco entrepreneurs and they were made close to home, the Napa and Sonoma valleys. While these areas have proven to produce excellent wine, there is now a resurgence of interest in the foothill vineyards by those looking for robust, full-bodied red wines.
Our vineyard is 12 years old. Our estate varietals are Sangiovese, Merlot, and Zinfandel. We also purchase grapes from other Tuolumne County vineyards giving us access to excellent Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah.
