A five-vintage folio of vines, weather, and winemaking.

Overture

Five years. Two vineyard blocks. A hundred small decisions between the frost of spring and the last late-picked grape of fall.

The Estates

Four regions · four climates

I Mendoza · Argentina Free

High-desert sun, snowmelt irrigation, Malbec country. Forgiving.

II Marlborough · New Zealand Free

Maritime, green, wind-swept. Frost is real. Sauvignon Blanc's home.

III Napa Valley · USA Premium

Warm days, cool nights, Cabernet on chest-high trellis. High-ceiling terroir.

IV Tuscany · Italy Premium

Sangiovese, old-world patience, and the hardest weather. A winemaker's test.

II.

Three acts, per year

Act I

Winter pruning, spring canopy, summer ripening, fall harvest. Time the pick: early is safe, late is a gamble.

SeasonsBlocksWeather

Act II

Cool, warm, or wild fermentation. Stainless, oak, or concrete aging. Blend compatible varieties for synergy.

Act III

Local shop, sommelier, wine club, distributor — higher reputation unlocks premium channels. Grand Cru commands the best price.

We simulate decisions, not reality. Clarity beats realism.
