Variety
Produced from grapes grown in various microclimates of Napa Valley, Groth Sauvignon Blanc has long been a showcase of our region’s potential for this varietal. Warmer areas give the wines melon and citrus characteristics, while cooler sites provide liveliness and a solid backbone. The Semillon in the blend is from our family’s Oakville Estate.
This single-vineyard Chardonnay is sourced exclusively from our family’s Hillview Estate in the Oak Knoll District in southern Napa Valley. This elegant wine — balanced, clean and crisp — highlights the beautiful fruit character and underlying minerality that so often exemplifies white wines from this cooler region.
In 1994, our family replanted the Eastern side of our Oakville vineyard from Cabernet Sauvignon to Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, recognizing the potential of the clay soils in these blocks to produce white wines of great texture, depth and complexity. This bottling marks the first Groth white wine grown exclusively on the family’s Oakville Estate.
Introduced with the 2018 vintage, Oakcross Proprietary Red represents our family’s continued focus on exploring the potential of our Oakville Estate and the broader Oakville AVA. The name — the moniker given to the property when it was originally planted — symbolizes both the central position of our Estate and the corridor that connects Groth to the distinguished Oakville grower partners who also contribute to this superior red blend.
Blessed with an ideal combination of soil and climate, Oakville is recognized as one of the world’s preeminent wine regions, known for its elegant, age-worthy and immensely enjoyable Cabernet Sauvignons. The fruit for this delicious wine comes from our Oakville Estate and carefully selected lots from our esteemed grower neighbors.
This wine represents the finest lots from our Oakville Estate’s Reserve Vineyard. This nearly 28-acre band has a high amount of chert, a compact sedimentary rock consisting of quartz crystals and fossils. This unique soil profile and Oakville’s ideal climate combine to produce an elegant, age-worthy wine from one of the world’s top Cabernet appellations.
