The scent of a Hertelendy wine is unmistakable. Distinct, robust, and beaming with richness, the scent alone is indicative of craftsmanship. At Hertelendy Vineyards, they’ve masterminded every possible detail in order to ensure that the quality of their wine is unmatched. Just a sip of their wine will illuminate you with the understanding of what it truly means to open a bottle of Hertelendy’s finest.
The vineyard soil is where the magic starts—and is so much more than meets the eye. Planted nearly twenty years ago on the slopes of Napa Valley’s Vaca Mountain range, the Hertelendy vineyard has direct access to idyllic natural elements for wine-making: the rocky and volcano ash-rich soil are what give Hertelendy red wines their distinct and elegant taste. For whites, the clean pristine taste of Hertelendy’s Chardonnay is credited to the deep clay soil of the renowned Russian River Valley. Having had the insight to locate these premium locations, owner and vintner Ralph Hertelendy knows what it takes to make the best wine in the world.
Another aspect of premium wine-making is patience. Where Old World wine-making tradition meets the modern world, Hertelendy Vineyards does not adhere to today’s shortcuts and instead takes whatever route necessary to cultivate the most luxurious flavor in every bottle. For instance, Hertelendy boasts a longer barrel age length, ranging from nineteen to twenty three months, allowing Hertelendy wine to settle more than most.
The same excellence Hertelendy Vineyards applies to its wine-making process is similarly applied to its customer service. Through exclusive memberships, Hertelendy Vineyards keeps its clientele coming back for more. Patrons start on the path of becoming members by participating in the Lux loyalty program. As they accumulate points through wine purchases, they are given a chance to reap specific benefits of a club member. By opening this window of opportunity, Hertelendy offers a sip of the rewards that a formal membership with Hertelendy can provide.
The next level up is the Classic club membership. A Classic membership is a wine connoisseur’s dream. Grandfathered pricing at ten percent off is just one of the perks of being a member. With access to a variety of wine, patrons get to enjoy six bottles of wine, twice a year. Making available the best that the spring and winter seasons have to offer, patrons are given the opportunity to taste wines that only members are privy to through complimentary wine tastings. A Classic member has access to nearly all Hertelendy has to offer.
Elite club membership takes the Hertelendy experience to the next—and highest—level. In addition to all the benefits of the Classic members, patrons of the Elite membership are invited to a new approach to wine. Along with enjoying grandfathered pricing of fifteen percent savings and twice the amount of wine, Elite members are granted access to exclusive wines crafted in small, limited quantities. Elite members are welcome to indulge in Hertelendy’s library of vintage and large format wines that are otherwise only available at charity auctions. Elite members will feel as if they have their fingers on the pulse of the wine industry.
Alongside wine-making consultant Phillip Corallo-Titus, Ralph Hertelendy elevates the wine lover’s experience such that the name Hertelendy has come to embody the epitome of excellence within the wine industry. Critics agree through their accolades: Gold at Texsom, Best in Class Double Gold at Sunset International Wine Competition, and 95 to 99 point ratings from industry luminaries, to name a few. Hertelendy Vineyards continually and reliably brings uncompromising taste and elegance to the wine community.
