The global leader of cult wines

Winemaking in America was established by early European colonists. It was greatly shaken by Prohibition in the 1930s, which saw the ripping up of many prized vineyards and it was not until the 1960s that a number of pioneering winemakers began to show the world what America could do.

American wine is unique due to various factors, including the diverse growing regions, new and innovative winemaking techniques, and the ability to experiment with lesser-known grape varieties.

A key factor that makes American wine unique is the country’s diverse growing regions. The US is home to a wide range of climates, soils, and elevations, which allows for the production of a diverse range of wine styles. From the warm, sunny vineyards of California to the cooler, more temperate regions of New York, each region produces unique wines to its local terroir. This diversity of terroir is showcased in the wide range of wine styles and flavours created in the US.
American winemakers embrace technology and aren’t shy in using new and innovative winemaking techniques. American winemakers are known for their willingness to experiment and embrace new technologies and methods, which has allowed them to produce high-quality wines that are unique and distinctive. From the use of barrel aging to the implementation of sustainable vineyard practices, American winemakers are continuously pushing the boundaries of what is possible in winemaking.
