Quintessa
Quintessa Winery is an architecturally intriguing winery located on the west side of the Silverado Trail just north of Rutherford Cross Road.
The estate encompasses 280 acres of which approximately 135 acres are planted to vine. The winery was founded in 1989 by well-known Chilean vintners Agustin Huneeus and his wife Valeria.
Quintessa is part of a winery/brand portfolio owned by Huneeus Vintners including Illumination (a very limited production Sauvignon Blanc made at Quintessa), Napa Valley based Faust Vineyard, Flowers Vineyards & Winery (a Sonoma County based winery), Leviathan, a Napa Valley brand founded by winemaker Andy Erickson and Willamette Valley based Benton-Lane Winery.
Unlike most wineries in the Napa Valley, Quintessa specializes in only one wine each year, a Cabernet Sauvignon; there is no second label.
At Quintessa, attention to producing exceptional wines starts in the vineyards but are also rooted in the details of their operations – both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
The Quintessa motto is “fine wine is a reflection of place”.
The vineyards are both organically farmed (certified CCOF) and are also overseen using bio-dynamic practices.
Their approach is holistic; it is a gentle farming philosophy that embraces being one with the land.
The Wine Merchant is pleased to be appointed exclusive distributor of Quintessa winery in Thailand.
