About Apothic
Apothic is a range of bold California wines from E.J. Gallo, America's largest family-owned winery. The flagship Apothic Red was created by winemaker Debbie Juergensen in 2007 and first released commercially in 2010, quickly becoming a phenomenon praised by critics including Robert Parker as one of California's greatest bargains. The Apothic name draws inspiration from the medieval word "Apotheca," describing a place where spices and herbs were stored and wine was artfully blended. This heritage-inspired approach is reflected in the wine's distinctive blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, sourced from vineyards throughout California's Central Valley to create a full-bodied, fruit-forward character. What makes Apothic distinctive is its accessible yet bold flavour profile. The wines feature ripe fruit characters with a touch of residual sweetness, making them approachable for newcomers while still appealing to experienced wine drinkers. The success of the original Red led to an expanded range including Apothic Dark, Inferno (barrel-aged), Crush, Rosé, and Sparkling Red.
