Opus One represents the coming together of two of the world’s great wine families: the Rothschilds and the Mondavis. Both visionaries in their chosen territories, introducing many of the techniques we now think of as ‘de rigeur’ (including Chateau bottling, temperature controlled fermentation and high density planting), Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi brought energy, wisdom and passion to this collaboration, and in the form of Opus One, created a global icon in Napa. Based in the Napa heartland of Oakville, Opus One is predominantly top-class Cabernet balanced with a smattering of Bordeaux varieties and balances the best of the regional sunshine with the class and delicacy of its Bordelais heritage.
