Lower Alcohol Wines

If you remember the "old days" California wines usually had an alcohol content of 13.x%. That has crept up over the past two or three decades to averaging closer to 15% for many varieties. If you still prefer the more subtle approach to winemaking, there are a few places you can find this style. Or maybe you're just curious about a different method of making wine. 

Wine Country Table has put together a list of wineries in Napa and Sonoma that meet the requirement.

Notes/Disclaimers:

  • This style of wine often requires aging and food. Keep that in mind when sampling.
  • Many of the wineries are quite small, so it may be impossible to find them in your local store.
  • The Wine Country Table authors responsible for this article are connected to Jordan Winery.
  • Some wineries listed make sparkling wine, which is naturally lower alcohol.
Holy heck, is this stuff even ripe? :)
Stop by and check it out for yourself
