Opus One — Napa Valley, California

Opus One stands among California’s most prestigious wines — a timeless reference in the world of fine wine. Born from the historic partnership between Robert Mondavi, emblematic figure of Napa Valley, and Baron Philippe de Rothschild, legendary owner of Château Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux, the estate embodies the perfect balance between French elegance and Californian power.

Terroir & Philosophy

  • Soils: gravelly and loamy with excellent drainage.
  • Climate: morning fog and abundant afternoon sunshine for slow, even ripening.
  • Farming: sustainable viticulture with meticulous parcel-by-parcel care.

This unique terroir allows Cabernet Sauvignon to fully express power and complexity while retaining freshness and balance.

Grape Varieties & Winemaking

Opus One is primarily Cabernet Sauvignon (around 95%), complemented by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec depending on the vintage.

Long maceration and élevage entirely in new French oak yield a silky texture, fine-grained tannins, and extraordinary depth.

  • Aromas: blackcurrant, blackberry, cedar, graphite, subtle spice.
  • Palate: velvety, structured, long and balanced — intensity with refinement.
  • Annual production: ~360,000 bottles, with consistent quality and excellent ageing potential.

Iconic Vintages

One of the world’s most coveted and collectible labels, it offers both immediate pleasure and remarkable longevity. Whether enjoyed now or aged for decades, Opus One delivers an unforgettable experience worthy of the greatest cellars.
