Opus One Winery

Opus One Winery - Baron Phillip de Rothschild

The co-founder of Opus One was the Californian Robert Mondavi. He was an internationally known pioneer of American viticulture. He worked with passion on a renaissance of Californian fine wines. For example, he introduced temperature-controlled fermentation as well as aging in French oak barrels.

Robert Mondavi and Baron Phillip de Rothschild had the idea for a collaboration in the 1970s. It was not until the end of the decade that they were able to realize their vision. The partnership resulted in Opus One - the high-quality and Californian red wine with Bordeaux character. With him one of the most expensive wines of the United States was created, which convinces with subtlety and grace.

The top wine is produced on the 68-hectare vineyard in California's Napa Valley. In processing Opus One relies on traditional methods, but also does not refuse modern techniques.
