Opus One 2021

Opus One 2021 continues the tradition of this iconic Napa Valley estate—a singular vision born from the collaboration of Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Robert Mondavi. This vintage showcases a seamless integration of old-world winemaking precision and new-world terroir, sourced exclusively from the estate’s meticulously cultivated vineyards in Oakville, including the renowned To Kalon Vineyard.

Hand-harvested during the cool nighttime hours, the grapes underwent rigorous sorting and gentle fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain purity and balance. The wine was aged for 18 months in new French oak barrels, crafted by artisan coopers using tight-grain wood that allows for controlled oxygen exchange—enhancing structure and longevity.

The 2021 vintage benefited from a consistent growing season with moderate temperatures and minimal heat spikes, allowing the fruit to ripen slowly and evenly. Precision viticulture, sustainable farming practices, and limited yields ensured concentration and depth. Opus One 2021 exemplifies the estates philosophy of minimal intervention, where nature and craftsmanship coalesce in pursuit of timeless elegance and cellar-worthy complexity.
