The story behind it
Founded in 1883 by C.H. Wente, Wente Vineyards is recognized as the country's oldest continuously operated, family-owned winery. Based in Livermore, California, the family's dedication to quality winemaking across five generations has made them a cornerstone of American viticulture, particularly famous for their heritage grape clones.
Estate grown in the gravel-rich soils of Livermore Valley, this wine is named after French emigrant Louis Mel, who brought the original Sauvignon Blanc cuttings from Chateau d'Yquem in the 1880s. These historic vines continue to thrive at the winery & vineyard, producing fruit of exceptional intensity and balance.
