Brandy, renowned for its rich complexity, is crafted from the essence of grapes.

At Napa Valley Brandy Co., we harness the distinct flavors of traditional Bordeaux varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, exclusively sourced from the Coombsville AVA in Napa Valley.

This region’s volcanic soil and moderated climate from the nearby San Pablo Bay cultivate grapes with a perfect balance of sugar and acidity, essential for the velvety smoothness and robust flavor profile of our Solera Gold Brandy.

it’s all about the barrels

The secret to the distinctive character of Solera Gold lies in our meticulous barrel aging process.

At Napa Valley Brandy Co., we use a combination of new French oak and seasoned tawny port barrels to mature our brandy.

This careful selection enhances the spirit with subtle hints of vanilla and rich, toasted oak, while the tawny port barrels impart a complex, velvety depth with notes of dried fruits and spices.

Each barrel contributes uniquely, ensuring that every sip of Solera Gold offers a sophisticated and layered tasting experience

our distillation process

At Napa Valley Brandy Co., our distillation process sets us apart, defining the exceptional quality of Solera Gold.

We employ the traditional double pot distillation technique, a method revered for its ability to refine and enhance the brandy's aromatic profile.

This meticulous process not only ensures the removal of impurities but also allows us to capture the essence of the grape's flavor, resulting in a smoother, more flavorful spirit.

Our commitment to this time-honored technique is a testament to our dedication to crafting a superior California Brandy.
