The majority of the wineries are in the northern part of the county in the Shenandoah Valley and Fiddletown appellations. In these areas, vines are planted almost exclusively on rolling hillsides ranging from 1,200 to 2,000 feet in elevation. The moderately dense soils effectively retain Amador’s 36 to 38 inches of annual rainfall, enabling most growers to dry-farm their vineyards, which contributes to low crop yields. These small yields, the vines’ sparse canopies (allowing excellent sunlight penetration into the vine), warm climate, and Amador’s high solar radiance ensure complete maturation of the fruit. Equally important, temperatures typically drop 30-35 degrees in the evening as breezes cascade down from the Sierras. This rapid cooling helps the grapes retain the acidity essential to balanced wines. Amador’s production of robust, intensely flavored red wines also is attributable to its high percentage of old vines: roughly a quarter of the total vineyard acreage is 60 years or older, including several vineyards dating to the 19th century. These deeply rooted vines, primarily zinfandel, develop tiny crops of small-berried grapes which produce the heady zinfandels for which Amador County is renowned. Today, where gold once reigned, twenty-five wineries produce a new treasure: the superb wines which have earned Amador County international recognition. |
