History
From day one the mission was simple: to produce great tasting wines for everyday moments that everyone could enjoy. The long-awaited excitement of a night out with friends. The quiet relief of home after a day at work…when the kids are in bed and your husband comes in with a bottle in hand. Life is full of a myriad of meaningful moments that happen every day, and the wines we make are crafted to go hand in hand with them.
Regional Information
This varietal thrives in warm climate and can be found in a number of California's wine growing regions, including Central Valley situated at the foot of Sierra Nevada Mountains. The sheltered environment created by the mountains favours a long growing season in the valley. Warm daytime temperatures often cool down at night, encouraging grapes to ripen slowly.

Vinification Details
The grapes for Gallo Family Vineyards Merlot were harvested at optimum ripeness, which allowed for easy extraction of rich colour and velvety tannins. The winemaker selected aromatic yeast strains and employed a warm fermentation process, which has resulted in a wine with more flavour and fruitier aromatics.
