About Us
Celebrating our history, this imprint reminds us of our heritage. Potenza is not only a beautiful place, but it is also a wonderful descriptor for our wine-making style: strong, powerful and of great potential.
Our Barrels
At our winery only use 36 month air dried french oak barrels custom made for us by Demptos USA. A blend of oak from different forests in France with medium toasting on both the heads and staves produces a truly wonderful deep flavor. Our reserve wines spend 2 years in brand new barrels.
Our Grapes
We use Lodi AVA grapes exclusively for all of our red wines. This American Viticultural Area is located in the Central Valley of California, at the northern edge of the San Joaquin Valley east of San Francisco Bay.
Our Story
Established in 2004, Château Rousseau-Potenza produces distinct, full bodied wines nurtured from the highest quality fruit from the Lodi AVA. Aged in custom Demptos french oak barrels our La Reserve, Vin d' Angie and Potenza offerings highlight the award-winning style of winemakers J.G. Russo, Gary J. Thomas (Château Sarlat) and Glen M. Thomas (Orchard Estates).
