Napa de Oro produces seven varietals of wine, from the most popular white wine, Chardonnay, to the most popular red wine, Cabernet Sauvignon, and five varietals in between. Its Bordeaux Style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc is an expression of harmony and power and appropriately named after Caroline, in recognition of her priceless contribution to the company.

Simply told, “Napa de Oro” is “liquid gold”.

Award-winning Zuidema was the perfect person for their introduction to the process, as he has over 30 years of producing Napa Valley wines, using what he describes as a “natural, respectful, and non-manipulative approach.” He explains that his method is one that is slower and more conservative. “I believe that every wine should speak its own story of its grapes, in connection to its region, vineyard, and the vintage year of its origins. Rather than forcing the flavors to be what I want it to be, we let the wine develop its characteristics. We ‘listen’ to the wine as it tells us to help it move towards the right direction. If you push the wine before it is ready, you could be pushing it in the wrong direction.”

“I believe wholeheartedly that every year, wine from the same vineyard would have a different character because no growing season is the same.” He adds, saying that given the variables of growing the grapes itself, the quality and consistency comes from the perfect climate at Napa Valley and its carefully nurtured soil that produces fantastic fruit.
