Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley winemaker Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality.
This unique mission shapes every generation, today and for generations to come. "Opus One's estate vineyards consist of 4 parcels located in the western portion of the renowned Oakville AVA. Two parcels totaling 100 acres are located within the renowned To Kalon Vineyard. These are complemented by the combined 70 acres of the Ballestra and River parcels there surrounds the vineyard. In the vineyards, hand harvesting and other traditional approaches are taken wherever they work best. When modern techniques benefit the viticultural process, they are researched, evaluated and integrated into practice."
