New World Wines

Goldschmidt Vineyards is the realization of a concept: a winery in California involved in wines from the New World - California, New Zealand, Australia, and South America. The wines are the realization of Yolyn and Nick Goldschmidt. Nick is the corporate winemaker for all of Allied Domecq's wineries around the world, but based in Healdsburg, Sonoma County, California. Originally from New Zealand, Yolyn has spent time living and working in the wine areas of New Zealand, South America, and California. Goldschmidt Vineyards presents this concept in three unique ways:

Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon

Goldschmidt Vineyard Vyborny Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon comes from a single vineyard source on a southeastern slope in the heart of the Alexander Valley. The vineyard is situated on a knoll east of the town of Geyserville and is comprised of a gravelly loam soil which allows for good control of irrigation producing wines of rich, concentrated flavors. Excellent exposure of the clusters combined with long hang time on the vine yields grapes possessing optimal ripeness and maximum varietal character. A wine encapsulating the unique terroir of an excellent vineyard in an outstanding wine-growing region for cabernet sauvignon.

A Unique Concept

Forefathers Wines was the first brand released by Goldschmidt Vineyard. It is a new idea in the area of winemaking that has not really been explored - the idea of using grapes from the greatest appellations from around the world where they grow best, and making wines representing those classic characters all under one label!

The Goldschmidt Vineyards' Philosophy

These wines are the creation of Yolyn and Nick Goldschmidt. Yolyn has been surrounded by winemakers from more than 15 years, and has spent many evenings with Nick and her fellow winemaking friends from around the world, tasting both the differences and similarities in New World Wines. This gives her the opportunity to stand in other winemakers' cellars and not ask "how?", but "why?". Yolyn believes that unless you talk to the winemaker in this context, one can never get a grasp of what a particular wine is about.
