| Our Signature Wine, the Campus Oaks "Old Vine" Zinfandel Lodi, is selectively chosen from our 83-95 year old vineyards and has consistently won Gold Medals every year since it's initial harvest in 1997.
In 2004, we introduced our Honor Series, which features the graduation of our quality Old Vine Zinfandels to higher award-winning levels - "Cum Laude", :"Magna Cum Laude" and "Summa Cum Laude". Our newest production, the Music Series delivers splendid renditions of "AmaZin" Grapes, "Que Syrah Syrah", "Life is A Cabernet" and "My Chablis Amour" while demonstrating our desire to combine value with elegance and sophistiction through creativity.
Last year, we produced over 100,000 cases of excting wines. Our Campus Oaks varietal wines have received over 100 awards from national and international wine competitions. We also have produced wines for over three-dozen other wineries, including Kendall-Jackson, Hess, Bogle and the organic wines - Our Daily Red. In the Marilyn Merlot series, we developed the Norma Jean project.
Ultimately, people are always the deciding factor in any endeavor. Our winemaker, Cristophe Legrandjacques, brings to our team over 16 years of global winemaking experience, Cris was trained at the prestigious G. H. Mumm vineyards in Reims,Champagne, France and also at Chateau de Chantegrives winery in the Graves district of Bordeaux. Chris and his supporting crew of veteran cellar workers have formed a unique bond that allows us to pursue new levels of excellence and exhiliaration in the wines we create.
At Gnekow Family Winery, we are proud of the wines we produce, the region we represent and the people who help us create "Great wines at Great price". Our commitment is to produce quality, value-oriented, easy to drink and interesting wines while maintaining our friendly professional approach to doing business. |
