Fallbrook Winery
|
|
Winery construction was completed 1981 and was used primarily for champagne production through the late 1980’s. In the early 1990’s the winery began producing high quality red and white varietals. Today Fallbrook Winery is one of the leaders in California’s emerging South Coast wine region. The winery consists of 36 acres resting between the Pacific Coast and the Pala Mesa Mountains. The topography of the region creates an ideal microclimate. A climate characterized by consistent and moderate temperatures throughout the growing season with warm days and cool nights. These conditions allow for the grapes to develop the optimal sugar and acid levels needed to create a very flavorful and balanced wine. The winery’s central building has two aging cellars built directly into the hillside and is used primarily for oak barrel aging of the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals.
