Print product information sheet

The Quintessa Napa Valley 2022 is a wine that is particularly defined by its terroir. The multi-layered soils of the Rutherford Bench, characterized by gravel, sand and volcanic rock, formed a vintage that is both powerful and focused. An early budbreak, a moderately temperate summer and the warm phase at the end of the season led to a slow, even development of ripeness, in which concentration and freshness found a rarely achieved balance. The selective block harvest produced grapes that bear the signature of the site with impressive clarity.

On the nose, the Quintessa Napa Valley 2022 presents a precise composition of black cherry, cassis and dark wild berries, framed by notes of tobacco, bay leaf, cedar wood and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is structured yet silky, with dense fruit and a striking mineral line reminiscent of graphite, crushed rock and a hint of tar. The fine-grained tannins - a hallmark of Rutherford Bench - lend depth and elegance, while the natural acidity gives the wine length and tension.

Vinification is carried out parcel by parcel in order to preserve the characteristics of each individual block. Around 20 days of maceration allow for precise extraction before the cuvée is matured for 22 months in a combination of new French oak, neutral wood and a small amount of terracotta amphorae. This finely tuned maturation gives the wine structure, complexity and an elegant, almost floating harmony. The cuvée is made from Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by Cabernet Franc, Carménère, Merlot and Petit Verdot.

The Quintessa Napa Valley 2022 shows its culinary strengths in combination with fine dishes such as fillet of beef, lamb salmon, braised mushrooms or aromatic root vegetables. Fine herbal aromas and truffles are also excellent accompaniments. At a serving temperature of 16-18 °C, it shows all its finesse with clear fruit, mineral depth and a long, stylish finish.

Quintessa

Quintessa ist eine ausgesprochen exklusive Winery in Rutherford, im Napa Valley, direkt gelegen am legendären Silverado Trail.

Die Eheleute Agustin und Valeria Huneeus kauften das Land im Jahre 1990, nachdem Agustin Huneeus vorher u. a. in seinem Heimatland Chile in leitender Funktion bis 1971 Concha y Toro zum größtem Weinproduzenten Chiles ausgebaut hatte.

26 verschiedene Parzellen bepflanzt mit Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot und Carménère machen den Wein aus; geerntet wird frühmorgens, die Gärung findet in Stahltanks und Beton statt. Die Weine der einzelnen Lagen reifen dann für etwa 24 Monate in französischer Eiche. Erst danach erfolgt das finale Blending, also die Mischung des Cuvées. Abschließend lagert der Wein dann noch ein Jahr auf der Flasche, bis er schließlich das Weingut verläßt.

Quintessa kann es locker mit den besten Weinen Amerikas aufnehmen. Es braucht sich nicht vor so manchem gehypten und manchmal auch überteuerten Kalifornier verstecken, zumal die Preise auf Geheimtipp-Niveau liegen und angesichts der angebotenen, maximalen Qualität, immer noch als moderat bezeichnet werden müssen.

Quintessa Napa Valley 2019
Quintessa Napa Valley 2019
The wines that Agustin and Valeria Huneeus have been producing since 1989 at their Quintessa winery in Rutherford, in the heart of Napa Valley, could actually be merciless competitors to Opus One, Napa's flagship. But Quintessa is taking a less publicized, quieter approach, so Quintessa still flies "under the radar" in terms of name recognition. Wine connoisseurs benefit from this, as the quality of this grape juice is "outstanding", but the price, compared to Opus One, is not yet.And the 2019 Quintessa has also once again become a wine trouvaille, which was remarkably rated 99/100 points by James Suckling and received the high score of 100/100 points from WineEnthusiast.91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Merlot, 2% Carménère and 1% Petit Verdot make up the cuvée, which matured in 60% new French oak for 22 months.The nose shows an incredibly vibrant picture of the elements of flowers, forest, fruit and earth. Spices, walnut, black fruit, sweet cherry, cassis and wood complement each other to form a complex, extremely sensual whole, with silky tannins, good fat, great structure and an eternally lingering echo.This wine offers seemingly endless aromas to be discovered, but is not "cerebral" in the sense that it is incomprehensible. It is too seductive for that and it is all the more remarkable that it is already accessible and ready to drink now, but will probably remain so for another 30 years.An ideal gift for wine connoisseurs and those who simply appreciate outstanding grape juice at its finest.A mature achievement!

Quintessa Napa Valley 2018
Quintessa Napa Valley 2018
Quintessa, ein Flaggschiff von einem roten Kalifornier, ist eigentlich in jedem Jahr von so außerordentlicher Qualität und Intensität, dass man hier beinahe blind zugreifen könnte. Und dennoch unterscheiden sich auch diese Weine nach ihren jeweiligen Jahrgängen und den Bedingungen unter denen Sie hergestellt wurden, namentlich den Wettereinflüssen. So hat jeder Jahrgang seinen eigenen Charakter und seine individuellen Eigenschaften.Beim 2018er Quintessa lautet das Stichwort: Harmonie. Dieser Rebsaft ist immer ein Monolith der Frucht und der Sonne; hinzu kommt aber in 2018 noch eine unglaubliche Ausgewogenheit und Balance seines Wesens, die ihn ein weiteres Mal in die oberste Liga im Napa Valley katapultieren.Das Wetter in 2018 war in Rutherford, der Heimat des Quintessas, frei von jedweden Extremen und durchgängig mild. Der Herbst, die Erntezeit, lies allen Raum um präzise zur richtigen Zeit zu ernten, ohne jeden Druck, so dass eine perfekte Reife gewährleistet werden konnte.Intensive Aromen von Cassis, Schwarzkirsche, Himbeeren, etwas Salbei und Thymian, dunkle Schokolade, Graphit und frischer Tabak verbinden sich mit einem Korb von roten und schwarzen Früchten zu einem extrem harmonischen Gesamtkunstwerk. Die gut gegenbalancierende Säure und ein feines Gerüst von seidigen und geschliffenen Tanninen bilden die Basis, aus der sich ein schier unendlicher Ausklang ergibt.
