History: The Great American Wine Company, by Rosenblum Cellars, is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of America. We proudly use the best grapes from California vineyards to pay homage to classic American varietal and winemaking techniques. Rooted in tradition and pioneering spirit, The Great American Wine Company (GAWC) has begun production of its California wines with the revolutionary Helix wine bottle closure system, developed by Amorim and OI. This partnership has brought together three of the industry’s leading companies to revolutionize the way we bottle wine. “Made from natural and sustainable cork, the Helix is the most innovative closure of the 21st century. It addresses our customers’ need for convenience with the cork that pops easily, while retaining the elements synonymous with opening a bottle of wine, such as the premium feel and ‘pop’ that the cork produces.” Helix is a solution of Unique packaging that combines a twist-on cork stopper with a screw-on glass bottle, allowing the packaging to maintain a premium image but offering the convenience of an easy-to-open-and-reseal bottle.

Tasting Notes:

Fruit forward with only a touch of oak, this Chardonnay has aromas of apple and pear with the sweetness of honey. It’s light bodied and easy to drink, with a smooth finish.
