Temecula's Favorite Family Winery
 |
Wiens Family Cellars • Temecula
Wiens Family Cellars is a family owned and managed winery, famous for producing world class "big red” Temecula wines, using fruit sourced from the Temecula Valley.
Their wines are produced using traditional methods to make some of the finest Temecula wines. The grapes are harvested at optimal maturity, and the wine is crafted in small lots with minimal handling.
In making their reds, the berries are gently removed from their stems and the primary fermentations occur in small bins. Wines are monitored and aged using a meticulous process of sensory analysis, and finished using specific types of oak barrels along with the appropriate ratio of new and aged wood to complement fruit flavors, stabilize color and add complexity.
For white wines, the juices are gently pressed from grape clusters, and then slowly cold fermented with special yeasts to preserve and enhance delicate fruit flavors.
Be sure to visit the Wiens Family for a wine tasting when you're next in Temecula, one taste will make you think you're in Napa. Bring home a few bottles or a case of wine, they will make a great pairing with a fantastic home cooked dinner.
