 Harris Teeter® is proud to introduce Oak Creek™, a family of new wines made exclusively for Harris Teeter®. Oak Creek™ Vineyards makes fine wines that reflect both the varietal and the superb growing conditions of California.
Oak Creek™ Cabernet is big, bold and rich. The Merlot is plump, juicy and round. And the Chardonnay is buttery, floral and rich. "Harris Teeter® is excited to be able to offer three consistent, quality wines at a great price," says Ed Cook, Marketing Manager for Beer and Wine at Harris Teeter.
Mark Rasmussen oversees all winemaking activities at Oak Creek™. He joined Golden State Vintners in 1992 and serves as Senior Winemaker for the company's entire wine brand portfolio. He brings with him years of experience and first-hand knowledge of cultivating fine wines.
Under Rasmussen's watchful eye, Oak Creek™ has modified their farming methods over the years in an effort to produce grapes that are riper, denser and more intensely flavored.
"The winery uses a combination of traditional and modern techniques to retain freshness and enhance the bouquet and texture of the three varieties we offer," notes Rasmussen.
"We harvest at night for better fruit expression, and use techniques such as cold pre-soaks and micro-oxygenation to make the best wine possible," he adds.
