Herzog Winery Collection
Royal Lineage • California • Kosher Certification
"Nine generations of excellence: Herzog Wine Cellars merges European heritage with California's exceptional terroir to create wines that transcend borders."
A Historic Heritage
The Herzog family's history began in Slovakia in the 19th century, where they were official purveyors to the court of Emperor Franz Joseph I. After moving to the United States, they transformed Kosher winemaking into a high-end discipline. Today, from their winery in Oxnard, California, Herzog Cellars is a global benchmark of quality, regularly competing for mentions in Wine Spectator with the most prestigious labels from Napa and Sonoma.
Winemaking Identity
Selected Terroir
Grapes sourced from micro-lots in Napa Valley and Alexander Valley, regions overseen by the California Wine Institute, allowing for a diverse expression of volcanic soils and coastal climates.
Precision Mevushal
OU Kosher certification, the most recognized global authority by the Orthodox Union. Their Mevushal process uses cutting-edge technology to maintain the purity of the wine without compromising the organoleptic profile.
Special Reserve Philosophy
Limited production wines that adhere to the technical quality standards of the WSET, designed for noble evolution in bottle through aging in French oak barrels.
Emblematic Labels
• Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon: Intense notes of ripe forest fruits. This terroir is highlighted by Decanter for its ability to produce red wines of great structure and elegance.
• Special Reserve Chardonnay: Creamy profile with vanilla notes. For technical pairings with fatty fish, you can consult Wine Folly's guides on cool-climate varieties.
• Variations Five: A masterful blend that offers silky tannins, following the tradition of world-renowned Californian "blends."
Expert Consultations
What does it mean that Herzog is Mevushal?
Mevushal indicates that the wine maintains its Kosher status even if served by a non-observant person. According to the technical criteria of the OIV regarding thermal processes, Herzog's modern flash pasteurization does not alter the wine's bouquet.
At what temperature are Herzog red wines recommended to be served?
For reserve red wines, 16°C to 18°C is suggested. You can consult the GuildSomm's service protocols to optimize the sensory experience of California Cabernet Sauvignons.
